Rolex 16233 Authenticity

Hello! I recently got my hands on an old Rolex 16233. Most of the markings and engravings seem authentic except the dial which has the marking 'T - SWISS MOVT - T. Could someone please verify and let me know whether the watch is genuine? Attaching an image for reference.

Rolex never printed that on any authentic dial.

Datewheel and hands also indicate that this is a fake. Crown is also not correct.

Diamond hour markers at 6 and 10 are not aligned, not even close. This is fake.

Looks like something my Grandma picked up in Hong Kong in the late 80's for $5. I might be able to dig it up somewhere. Maybe grandpa's closet?
