A guide for this piece: about $1,392, 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 Sea-Dweller reference 16600 in stainless steel, with automatic movement and a unidirectional bezel. Its substantial profile gives it the purposeful presence associated with a diving-watch design.
The Piece
The nominal 40 mm case size is provided alongside the recorded overall measurements of this individual watch. The latter may include projecting elements and should not be treated as a competing nominal diameter. An approximately 18.5 cm wrist circumference helps establish bracelet fit. Historic model capability does not establish the present water resistance of a pre-owned watch; testing is advised before water exposure.
