路As much as I am an Omega guy through and through, it is very hard for me to beat the BLNR for day-to-day use in my professional world!! It is my go-to daily these days!

路Pulled out the old Midland the other day to get reacquainted with it.
I really like this movement. IIRC it's an ETA 2453.
Keeping good time, gains maybe 5-10 seconds per day. Don't have a tool to fit the case back ring so I won't try making any finer adjustment.
Very slim for a self winder and very comfortable on the wrist.
I switched out the mesh band for a inexpensive clone of a Spiedel band that suits it better. May try it on a leather band soon.

路That's got some serious presence!
I've never had the back off myself, those are the seller's images, I'm wondering if this might be a compressor or super compressor type waterproof case.
The back is secured by a separate screw down ring. The internal wall around the gasket looks very deep to my eyes.
The gasket appears to have a break in it.
Heres what the case back looks like.
I presume just about any watch that old is no longer waterproof unless restored by a professional. Not being able to find even a scrap of information on this brand I wonder if its worth a full service and restoration, including resealing and re-luming. Runs fine as is, self winding easily. Clean as it is I suspect it had been serviced in recent years.
I'll probably leave it as is as long as its running fine.
Got it dirt cheap, less than $20 USD IIRC, guess no one else recognized the brand since I was the only one to bid on it.
I actually only bid on it because I'd just run across a nice looking non running Hamilton that used the same movement. I'd figured to get the Hamilton and switch out the movements but I'm glad I didn't.

路For me, it has always been the classic Rolex GMT-Master. I've owned many references and love them dearly up to the 5 digit references.
A close second is the elder statesman of my small gathering, my 16800 matte dial Submariner.
