True but the mobile authenticators still work off of your cell phone's internal clock which is synchronized with your provider, but I'm not too up to date on the understanding on how those work anyway.

I've worked with RSA keys before, and unless there's a residual charge or a secondary battery that can power the clock for short periods of time by itself (Which could be possible) You can screw up the timing. Even if there are those things I wouldn't really suggest tampering with it unless it's broken anyway.
