Thank you all for the info! So just so I have this straight a soldier purchased this while overseas and brought it back? Or they ordered it in the US?
Why is a soldier involved? Is that part of the backstory?

I guess UOW import code means it was likely purchased in the USA, although I'm not sure there is any way to know for sure aside from the original receipt?

Probably yes but I don't think you can conclude with 100% certainty that a watch with US import code was indeed imported in the USA
