I don't know if there are any Rolex ADs at the Abu Dhabi airport. I'm guessing Dammam has one or two. Are there models (or variation) sold there that are not available in the US? Any considerations I should think about?
Any insights about purchasing in those countries are appreciated.

No man, there are no sport watches readily available here. The best you can do is putt your name on a waiting list. You might get a submariner or a GMT in a couple of months. The Daytona is selling at USD 18,000 at the AD and you also need to wait around 6 months for it.
