A guide for this piece: about $833, 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 Rolex Cellini, reference 3833/8, in 18-carat yellow gold with a textured gold dial and Arabic numerals, wound by hand and fitted with a new black leather strap.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and its Cellini line, named for the Florentine goldsmith, is the house's collection of slim dress watches in precious metal.
Reference 3833/8 is a thin round watch in 18-carat yellow gold. The dial is finely textured, with Arabic numerals, and the calibre 1600 is wound by hand. The strap is new black leather, not made by Rolex, with the original gold-plated buckle.
The case is 31 mm (1.22 in) across, and the strap fits a wrist of about 19 cm (7.5 in). The plating on the buckle has worn in places. It is offered as a watch only, without box or papers.
