A guide for this piece: about $229, 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.

The Knot Star Wars watch for Darth Vader: an all black 36 mm quartz with a red seconds hand and Vader engraved on the caseback.
The Piece
The black dial and case are interrupted only by a red seconds hand, a quiet reference to the Sith lightsaber, while the caseback carries Vader's engraving. Knot builds its cases in Japan; this one is 6.5 mm thin and water resistant for daily wear.
The battery has run down and needs replacing. The serial number is not number one; the first photographs show the model.
Star Wars on the Wrist
Japanese watchmakers have made some of the most accomplished Star Wars timepieces, issuing them in numbered editions through their own boutiques. Citizen's Attesa line and Seiko's Brightz brought the films into serious titanium and mechanical watches, and limited runs of a few hundred or a thousand pieces were usually gone on release.
