Sell Your loupe - enjoy your Sub but above all else remember it's just a watch (a tool watch at that). Trust me it will see worse things in its lifetime

You would be surprised but a lot of Rolex watches have this issue. Rolex lume isn't the best either. It's quite normal to have uneven lume applied on hands or hour markers. Regardless, the RSC can take care of the issue. In my honest opinion, it's not worth the hassle of the watch being opened again and I would stay away from the loupe.

It looks worse in person I showed local AD today and they said

I can live with scratches etc from wear and tear but this was on the inside
It was driving me mad. wanted too keep wiping the glass looked like
Dirt on it but it wasn't. It's on it's way to RSC now

Leave it till service. Seriously so small I can't imagine opening the watch for that. Watch it though if it gets worse then intervene.

This, my first post and I want to agree with post #25 (cht),
it shouldn't be an issue for your timepiece to be serviced by the house and you ought be provided with super-expedited service, on the other hand if you want to wait to see how the lume issue plays out before you send it in...I guess you'll have to think about it.

When you put your first major scratch or a ding on the case or bracelet, whatever is on the hand will seem miniscule. (BTW, I see nothing there with your pics, so it obviously isn't that bad.
