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.
I also believe that this only applies with the newer 3135 movements as well. I've heard that the prior 27J movement works the opposite just like the fakes. Can anyone confirm this?
