Icon20 Suspiciously Low Prices?

Hey, ya'll!

Take a look at this website and tell me if these prices are too good to be true. Has anyone ever heard of these guys?

Thanks!

Very Suspicious, The serial numbers are probably polished out, who knows maybe the
internal components have been swaped out also. You never know! If I was a fool with
my dough I would just dive right in and get me one of those Hotties, Instead of paying
my AD a visit.

I have an issue with the site..

They start out with a customs disclaimer about shipping to US customers, and they assume no liability if your purchase is "confiscated", but they are supposed to be a US Company. Customs doesn't confiscate genuine product, they simply charge you the import fees..

Also, all their photos are stock Rolex shots... Not a problem by itself, as many gray dealers do the same..

Still, if it looks too good to be true........you know...

Their phone area code is 208( Idaho) but their office is in California. Does not add up.

They claim to offer Google Checkout payment method , but are nowhere to be found as a Google affiliated vendor.
