Tudor Oysterdate 7961 (Mid-size/Boy)

Hi all.
First question here for me, so admins, please, be merciful if anything is wrong....
This little Tudor Oysterdate 7961 looks nice but there is something unexpected on the black dial.
As you can see from the pics, the tritium dot (losen probably due to age) at 6 fall exactly on the "SWISS" mark. Is normal?
Caliber seems ok, the ref printed inside the case back, misalligned, seems not unusual in other samples...
What do you think about it?
Thank you for your reply.

PS: pics from web auction. i miss the right name in the title, it's an Oysterdate not ad Oyster Prince...

I’ve seen that lume plot before on Rolex watches from that time period, and I believe it is fine. An earlier manufacturing standard.

Thank you.
The only other issue on dial could be the "crossair", here missed but seen on some contemporary black dials.

I pull the trigger and waiting it...
Anybody out there own one of the same size? I think is 32 mm ...
If somebody can put a pic (or link it) on a medium size wrist (my wrist is about 17.5 cm, that is a little bit less than 7").
I've never own a watch of such a small size, my smallest is 34/35 mm.
Thanks.

I think you pulled it off. It actually looks ok on your wrist. Congrats! Wear in good health.
