Has anyone come up with this idea to identify fake Rolexes?

Since Rolexes are built to exacting standards, each model should weigh a certain amount down to the hundredths or thousandths of an ounce. Why not just use a jeweler's scale to determine if a Submariner for example is real or fake based on its weight?

The 'counterfeiters' would soon get wise and make sure their 'watches' weighed the correct amount
