From what I have gleaned on other forums:
The hands can be moved in either direction with both the Rolex and the fake. The difference is that with the genuine Rolex 31xx movements, the hands will advance time with clockwise rotation of the crown. With the fake, the hands will retard time with clockwise rotation of the crown. Perhaps we should clarify this a bit. The hands can be moved in either direction with both the Rolex and the fake. The difference is that with the genuine Rolex, the hands will advance time with clockwise rotation of the crown. With the fake, the hands will retard time with clockwise rotation of the crown.
Interestingly all my other watches, ETA movements and my Glashutte all seem to rotate opposite to Rolex's.
Older 30xx movements do move hands in a counter clockwise direction though..

From what I have come to learn, even the movements are faked on a good fake Rolex (oxymoron, I know). Best method is to purchase from an AD and / or some someone who stands behind the authenticity.
