GMT found in a pile of rubble...

So my brother in law is doing some building and found a watch in a pile of rubble. Any thoughts about authenticity? Looks like it could be a fake but thought it was worth checking.

That’s crazy ...

Is your brother in law a builder? Where did he find this?

Thanks guys. He purchased several hundred tons of rubble to put a hard standing in a field and it was in there.

What are the tells on this one? The rehaut engraving looks like it’s printed to me and there is nothing between the lugs. Anything else obviously wrong?
