No, but I would like to know. I realize the difference in second hand movement distinguishes the Rolex springwound mechanical movement from electronic watches.
When a friend of mine bought a new Rolex in Hong Kong in the late 1980s they opened it up to show him the mechanism and serial number as I would guess the Chinese were manufacturing high quality fakes at that time. If I recall correctly they had to give up doing that to get the 2008 Olympics.
OK, I went back and searched for Fugazy and found this. Sub - real or fugazi? - Rolex Forums - Rolex Watch Forum
and this. A Guide for the First-Time Rolex Buyer: A Show of Hands
