A guide for this piece: about $2,664, 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 Submariner Date, reference 16610 LV, in steel with the green bezel made for the model's 50th anniversary, dated 2005 and overhauled in Japan before sale.
The Piece
Rolex was founded in London in 1905 and moved to Geneva in 1919, and the Submariner, introduced in 1953, set the form of the modern dive watch: a rotating bezel, a luminous dial and a case sealed against the sea.
In 2003 the house marked fifty years of the Submariner with the reference 16610 LV, the one steel model fitted with a green aluminium bezel. The black dial carries luminous round markers and a date window at three o'clock, the crown screws down, and the case and Oyster bracelet are steel.
The case is 40 mm (1.57 in) across, with the automatic calibre 3135 and water resistance to 300 m (1,000 ft). This example dates from 2005. It was overhauled in Japan before sale and is shown on its bracelet, with its box and papers.
