Help with identification

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum, and first off I must admit I honestly know nothing about watches and thats where my problem lies. Just earlier I was given a watch from my cousin who knows next to nothing about it except that he found it awhile back. The watch face says ”Howard Miller” but what confuses me is that on either side of the watches face engraved into the under side of the watch band the number ”18956” appears. Also on the back side of the ”clasp” for lack of proper terminology it reads, (top to bottem) ”78488 Rolex Rolex sa 750 Geneve Swiss made 18k”. Now I'm assuming this is some type of a cheap knock-off but who knows...maybe it is worth something to somebody. If anyone could help me in identifying this piece, maybe how old it is,, original value etc. any information would be greatly appreciated!!!.Thankyou

You are correct, it is a fake with no real value..

Welcome Danny - if you do post some pics, also PM a Mod to move this to the Watch Out!!! section since it sounds like a potential fake...
