Is It Possible to Have Two Databases with the Same Replica ID?

Problem
How is the Replica ID generated when
creating a new database? Is it possible to have two databases with the
same replica ID?
Content
The replica ID is the hexadecimal representation
of the year, month, day, hour, minute, second of when a database was created,
based on the local PC internal clock.
Creating databases rapidly on the same
server would not duplicate Replica ID's unless the Server time was set
backwards or the server was rebooted, allowing it to traverse the same
time/date that it had used to generate prior replica IDs. However,
fast creation of databases on two separate servers could produce databases
with the same replica ID.
