Rolex Oysterdate

Hello all. First post so please go easy! I purchased what I thought was a nice vintage Oysterdate for a very reasonable price, however, I am now concerned that this may be a redial. The lume on the dial is in very good condition and appears to be green, however, the lume on the hands has deteriorated and crumbles away on the minute hand. Just wondered what your thoughts were?

Really need to see images. If lume lights up after exposure to light, it may well be a relume. Good news is these watches and dials/hands are plentiful.

Hands are widely available an inexpensive. What year is it?
