They were then changed again to what we have today, laser engraved.
Edit to add pictures.
2008 rehaut engraving the same as this watch:
2012 lighter double engraved:
2016 Current style laser engraved:

Although I don’t necessarily disagree with you given there sand blasted clasp ( which means pre 2016), the rehaut appears completely off center. Also, the AR costing on the date window appears to reflect correct sapphire crystal so assuming the movement pans out I think this was just a refurb LN that maybe was not put together well after it was taken apart to replace the GmT hand and make any other repairs we may not even be aware of.
