Icon20 A "New Member" showed up and looking for your advice ))

Hi there! I'm a newcomer and this's my first post out here. Thank you all for sharing your great experience and willing to help each other! I've come through a lot of threads but still need your advice...
Has anybody purchased a rolex in duty free shop at airports? Is there a chance to buy a fake rolex instead of original?
Tnx a lot!

Thanks guys! As long as a seller is on the rolex.com list, it is an AD and visa versa, isn't it?
A friend of mine says there's a 116520 SS Daytona in duty free shop (Inchon airport, south Korea) for $10300. To my knowledge the price is pretty good, but I'm afraid there could be a trick...

Thanks!
I've seen several threads in the internet but those were not Rolex related, fortunately))). Never thought before there could be a fake....still hard to believe!
