This is a video on the history of Rolex. At 13 minutes 22 seconds a white faced watch, that doesn't appear to be a Rolex is shown. Can anybody identify it?

In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Some sort of Seiko Kinetic?
The side profile and what I can see of the dial certainly look very Seiko-like.
The thing at 2 that could be a pusher appears to me to actually be an empty threaded pendant tube.
Kinetic pushers aren't usually (ever?) screw down threaded as far as I know. Could be an Orient.
Googled Seiko Kinetic and Orient, but couldn't find a match.
The case profile and that it's a day-date reminds me a lot of Grand Seiko 6146.

The bezel is certainly machined in a similar way to the one you posted and the date seems to be similar.Originally Posted by rsykes2000
The case is quite different and the pusher isn't there on the GS.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
The crown looks like it doesn’t really belong to the watch - worn/ brassy
Some 70s Seikos had a chrome-plated brass crown on a stainless steel body watch.
A surprising combination but I have such a watch (doesn't look like the one above). As far as I can tell, the brass crown is original.
If it is hand-wound it could be an original crown but then it wouldn't be a Seiko. To me at a glance it looked like a cheap day-date Limit. The bezel is unusual but not particularly attractive or even noticeable.
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
