A guide for this piece: about $3,854, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Condition
Grade A for the watch and SA for the strap still allows slight signs of use. Close crown and case-side views deserve inspection before assuming an untouched finish. Document reference and serial correspondence, winding feel and strap security remain subject to a fresh hands-on assessment. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
Keep dry pending a current seal and water-resistance assessment; a check is not a new pressure test. A qualified watchmaker should assess winding, timekeeping, fastening and any damaged glass before wear. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth on secure exterior surfaces; do not open the case, polish it or adjust the movement at home. Match any accompanying documents to the actual reference and serial.
