Identify vintage Rolex

[newbie357]

Hi everyone,

I've been passed down a Rolex from my grandfather and would appreciate everyone's help on pinpointing the ref #, year, etc. for the watch. I've posted pictures of the watch on Reddit and several people have confirmed that it's authentic. If anyone thinks that it's not authentic, please feel free to chime in as well.

That said, I would love to learn more about its history and I know this forum definitely has serious enthusiasts on Rolex's history and their watches. It seems to be a 1950s Oyster Perpetual with a waffle dial and possibly a ref # 6284, but I know nothing more beyond that. The bracelet has 783519 and 357 stamped on it, if that helps.
