[QUOTE=rkammer;1393275]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'm just a new guy here so what do I know... other than after reading this thread I had to go in, quickly, and check out my 116520 Daytona and make sure it rotated clockwise with a clockwise rotation of the crown.

Interestingly all my other watches, ETA movements and my Glashutte all seem to rotate opposite to Rolex's.

Now I can sleep peacefully tonight. :)
