VC is by far my favorite of the big three. Out of these I would go with the 1921 me thinks, could wear kind of big though I guess. But the new Malte small seconds is pure class on the other hand

Love the VC history, just don't love the current collection much. The first one would get my vote out of the 3.

I seriously love the American 1921, how I wish it would release a model for lefties, like me.

The cushion case model would be my choice. I don't know that there is any real "history" with that one because it's really a complete rework of the old, art deco models that a lot of companies made.

The first one is a real beauty. I'm currently dreaming of a Deep Stream myself . . .
