Of course it will.

Actually, no it won't. Rolex uses a self winding mechanical movement.
Not all Rolex use the self winding movement, some have to be wound every few
days.
Even the good fakes use automatic movements.
I've never seen one like that. Those I have come across over the years had
quartz movements.
It wasn't until recently that I encountered an automatic movement in
a fake. I've seen several since. It takes a good eye to spot one.
Watchmakers are on the lookout for them, now.
You can find a decent knockoff Rolex with an automatic movement, the
correct markings, correct weight...for about $250. You'll probably get
ads for them this holiday season in your mailbox.
Thanks, but I'll stick with the real McCoy!
