That’s just from the lens trying to take macro, lighting not perfect, etc., it distorts everything not in the focus zone, IMO.

It might be a Frankenstein watch. Dial looks good bezel looks good hands I can’t tell. Not good tho have it looked at by an AD

Could it be some polishing compound or debris left behind from a service?

People calling fake, the additional photos OP shared make the rehaut appear grimy and of poor quality, could just be OP's camera setup and lighting. Though, the initial photos look okay.

I just checked the rehaut of my 2022 BLRO and 2015/2016 114060. Engraving between those watches is 100% identical and identical to @encoreprop image. And under no lighting or imaging circumstances anything like OPs images.

That said...the more I look at pics of 2013 116613LBs, the more it looks like that WAS the style of the rehaut back then. So I will take back my initial assessment and would recommend taking it to an AD...

It seems at some point, Rolex changed the style of the rehaut engraving. See the post below:
