A guide for this piece: about $670, 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.

Two recessed registers divide the aged cream dial beneath a central chronograph hand.
The Piece
Reference 5971 2 and hand-wound calibre 30CH; the opened-back photograph preserves the movement view rather than substituting a similar example. Dial staining, hand corrosion and case scratches are integral to this individual watch. The flyback designation is present, but a current chronograph reset or flyback test has not been performed.

Condition
Glass, case and bezel scratches are present, with dial damage, dirt and ageing and hand damage, corrosion and deterioration. The crown is non-original. The replacement strap alone is unused; that does not make the watch unused. No overhaul was performed by the previous custodian. See the Japanese condition ranks guide.
Authenticity & Care
Keep the case and dial dry and away from strong magnets. A qualified watchmaker should check the movement, crown and strap security before regular wear; do not polish away case markings or attempt to clean the dial. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
