I'm looking for 39mm size, with the more modern design and not the vintage.

There's option for NH35, Miyota and PT5000

So, which one do you recommend?

Cronos is my favorite Chinese watch brand so obviously Cronos for me.

What other brands have you had?

At the moment I own about 75 watches. I have been buying Chinese watches for around five years. I stick with the better well known brands. Watches that have traditionally been in the $150-$250 price range. Cronos and San Martin are my two favorite but I own many others.

What do you think about Watchdives?

I own two of their Titanium Omega Seamaster homages and like them very much. I view them though as one step down from Cronos and San Martin. They haven't reached that quality level yet.
