The watch in question is more than likely a 2008 M serial. If it’s not the angle of pictures, then you’re right, when the hand was changed and the movement dropped back in the case, the movement screws may have been done up before the stem was fitted back in, watch maker didn’t check dial lined up properly, causing the dial to be slightly off with the rehaut engravings. I’ve even seen it on brand new watches straight from an AD, it’s rare but it happens. That hand obviously wasn’t fitted by Rolex though.
No fake GMT case has ever got those dark double line engraved rehaut engravings right.
I’m certain it’s a genuine 116710ln. If it’s not an M serial it’s a very late Z.
EDIT: Just had another look at the pictures. You’re definitely right, the movement/dial was refitted slightly off when it was recased.
