Franken GMT Master?

This piece looks fake to me, dial seems to have been reworked and bracelet and end-links seem aftermarket.

When I saw it, I had a problem with the font used, especially for the SWISS - T <25, and it is definitely relumed (quite badly), but then with these kind of pictures.....hard to say. Although I think pictures are deliberately in that quality: big warning sign!

Bracelet looks ok from what I can see, dial looks touched up, badly over polished

I am surprised there is any watch left that is one serious polish
