Inconsistent Lume on Rolex 5513

I’m contemplating buying a 5513 but I noticed the lume on the 11, 3, and 4 o’clock is a darker shade from the rest.

My question is, is this normal and acceptable? Or will it significantly affect resale value when I want to sell it one day?

Much appreciated. Thanks.

That watch is a pass.
To answer your question, yes It happens ..and would drive me crazy. You can find a better example. Case is also very thin.
