Take a deep breath, calm down and try to relax. Chances are it's not a genuine one; even if he's an eccentric millionaire handy man, I doubt he would wear a YM on the job.
Why wouldn’t he wear it? Just because most here baby their watches and wont even get them wet, others will. Looks like he’s got a decent following on the tube so I say legit. Back in the day I wore my Submariner on building sites while working to pay my college courses and tests. I remember on one spray painting job it got covered in white acrylic over spray, literally covered. It took about 2 weeks of showering and a nail brush to get that lot off. People are just too precious about what is essentially something for telling the time and not jewellery.
The center links looked brushed rather than polished. It could be fake. However it looks heavily polished; I don’t know who would polish a fake. I could possibly see someone using a Sub in construction, but not a YM.
It's awesome to see people who wear their timepieces as actual tool watches bc that's how I feel Rolex sets themselves apart from the other fine watchmakers. IMHO, reliability and versatility are important marques of luxury. It bothers me when the wife won't let me take the submariner diving. But I understand, the pricing for these pieces are just... insane.
I build homes and manage properties in california. Good tradesmen are always booked and the money is good. If they are excellent, organized, and licensed they easily make 6 figures in many areas. This guy probably just decided he didn't need the new 2" steel pipe threader ($10k) or a new diesel with tool lockers ($45k). Or, he got it for a special occasion, like a wedding.
Here's my GMT from when I had to do some handyman work after an investor mtg.
