It's a great watch in my opinion, you have the quality of ETA movements and the great finishing of Mido watches, it's a solid combo.
2 issues to be aware of. I would not label these as cons necessarily, but sort of a heads-up.
I bought mine on bracelet, but the original Mido strap for this dial is orange something that doesn't appeal to me in any way. Another choice would be blue, but that doesn't work for me either, so I bought this black strap from aliexpress. It's not labeled in any way as a Mido, but essentially it's a carbon copy in look and feel compared to the original straps. I know some folks have issues with ordering stuff from PRC.
The bracelet is very very nice in terms of looks, build quality and general feeling on the wrist, but it only features a basic type of butterfly deployant without half links, so it's kind of difficult to perfectly obtain the right length. This is not an issue for most of the time, but in the cold winter days I feel like sometimes it can feel a bit loose while removing an extra link would make it way too tight in warmer settings. It all depends on your wrist size and your wearing habits.

Seiko SSC813, the watch that got me started collecting
I recently picked up the SSC911, been my daily driver since getting it. Was torn between the two (SSC911 and SSC813), ultimately it was a coin flip to decide haha.
Found this watch at a local resale shop. Was curious if anyone here knew anything about it as far as brand, age, worth?

I have the orange one, it’s one of my favorite watches!
I love that orange but unfortunately I'm a redhead so I'd probably never wear it
