I don't think "fake" is the right word. The IIII instead of IV is used in watch and clock making and is referred to "watch makers four" and is used to add symmetry to the dial. I also don't mind the 4,7,9 and 11 for the same reasons. I think if Rolex would have used Roman numerals at each hour marker the dial would be too cluttered. Just my $.02

Here's a couple articles on why it is used
