Hi! Recently purchased this watch from an online Japanese auction and it shipped directly from Osaka.

Can you help me determine if it is in fact authentic? I know Japan has strict rules against fakes, but wanted to get help on this watch!

It's keeping time and had no issues.

Omega Military Vintage Watch Hand-wound 17 Stone Blow Arrow British Army

The serial on the back is:
W.W.W.
Y22668
1058 9654 (1 is more rubbed off and hard to see)

It's fine for $ 100. Just a watch. Nothing of the above mentioned.

If you won this on Yahoo Japan using a proxy bidder, you're not going to have much luck making a return. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for it.

You're welcome to ask before buying in the future.

Last year I bought a speedmaster from a Japanese seller on C24. It was described as "with box and papers", but the omega warranty card came with it got no serial number. And when I scrutinize the card, I found actually the serial number on the warranty card was brushed away. So I ended up with losing big money on that purchase...

Welcome to the forum, hopefully indeed you did not pay too much.
If you’re seeking a real military watch, you will find a lot of info here, and on the Military Watch Ressource Forum.
Careful as real military Omegas will not be cheap.

PS there are many fakes indeed everywhere. Companies and authorities are uninterested in old fakes.
