A guide for this piece: about $2,227, 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
The colour combination is commonly called Coke, a descriptive nickname rather than a separate reference or authentication result. The T-series watch to 1996 and identifies automatic calibre 3185. It records overhaul, case/bracelet refinishing and replacement of the mainspring, back gasket and crown gasket. The GMT family's travel-watch origins belong to the 1950s, not this individual watch's manufacture. Width is 40 mm, while wrist fit is separately recorded around 17.5 cm.
