Linen 1601 advice and lume crack

Hi guys,

I'm new to the vintage rolex world and tempted by this linen 1601.

From what I can see, the mouvement, caseback engravings (although a bit off but seems ok according to other member) and dial seem to be consistent, and the seller claims it is unpolished, which is consistent at least with the reasonable amount of scratches that show on the pics.

The dial itself is clean overall but there's just this odd lume crack on the 11 o'clock that makes me wonder if it wasn't some 90's re-lume gone bad, or any other explanation ?

Price is on the higher side for the US market but more or less OK for EU (for the moment 4250$ without the jubilee, which I'm not interested in).

If you see any other tell-tell or inconsistency, I would really appreciate your advice !

Thanks !
