What year is this supposed to be? How did you aquire it?

I'm no expert but I've never seen that hollow clasp before. Also the crown guard looks weird. But I deferr to the real experts here.

Awful fake. I would recommend giving that watch the ball-peen hammer treatment.

That's one of the worst and most obvious fakes I have ever seen, to the extent I am quite intrigued by it! Maybe it was something else and someone put a (fake) Rolex dial in?
