A guide for this piece: about $260, 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.

A silver day-date dial and raised bars distinguish this Grand Seiko 61GS 6146-8000.
The Piece
Seiko's museum dates the 61GS family to 1968 and describes its self-winding 10-beat movement and Magic Lever winding; that model history is distinct from this particular watch's year. It identifies calibre 6146A, a replacement plastic crystal, case refinishing and a changed back gasket after overhaul.

Condition
The dial was clean, with a past dial-up rate about +8 seconds/day. Explicit non-water-resistance remains. Current day/date setting, strap condition, winding and timekeeping require hands-on examination despite the old overhaul. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
Keep dry pending a qualified watchmaker's inspection of the movement, seals and fastening. Do not polish the case, disturb luminous material or open the movement at home. Check strap flexibility, spring-bar seating and clasp engagement before wear.
