Icon1 What is the model or year of the Rolex Oyster?

I found this Rolex from my grandfather, but doesn't know the model or the year of it. Can you help me distinguish it? Thanks!

From 40's or 50's. I do not see perpetual on the dial, so I assume it is a manual wind and not a bubbleback.
Milled bezel version is called a "Viceroy".

Thanks for that! I found out that there is an engraving at the back, but can't barely see it. And there is a data that I assume to when it was bought. May 8, 1949

It's a reference 3372. It is perpetual and I believe it is refinished dial.

What is all piled up at the bottom under the crystal?
