A guide for this piece: about $836, 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 Piece

Fit is about 20 cm, separate from 24 mm lug spacing.

Condition
Original body AB and strap A ranks. Slight case scratches, bezel/coating chips in places, light strap wear and outer-box damage/scuffing; clean dial/glass/hands do not erase those defects. No overhaul was performed in the individual record. A past dial-up rate about −5 seconds/day is not current accuracy. Present winding reserve, seals, cuff/strap integrity and paper matching remain untested; the engraved300 m model rating is not diving clearance. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
Keep dry pending a qualified watchmaker's inspection of the movement, seals, crown and fastening. Do not open the case, polish the finish or disturb the dial at home. Have leather condition and spring-bar seating checked before wear.
