    out of the new steel versions is getting the most attention?

    I am leaning towards the steel, black dial Ing. Any comments or thoughts?

    Thanks

    You might be right

    There are several people here who bought the VC Ingenieur. At least second best in the popularity contest could be the VC Portuguese: one or two bought one already, several others are waiting for its arrival (like me...). I read here somewehere that an AD proposed that the pilot's watch was a bit of a runner, as the diver's watch, but I am not sure about it. The VC Portofino, that seems to have a delay in production, is ordered by some. Finally, the Da Vinci is a real enigma. It once was my favorite, most of us think it is a "love you, hate you" watch: until now I haven't read that someone bought one.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing titan Inge Automatic

    That's my favorite...

    right now. However when the Portofino hits the Ad's I think
    that will be the most popular.

    Aquatimer or Ingenieur

    It took me a while to appreciate it, but my favorite steel version right now is the Aquatimer, followed closely by the Ingenieur. Get both for different occasions! :)

    Portofino

    The Portofino is gorgeous, but I really do like the aquatimer - it is quite a unique watch.

    portifino too

    if size matters i think that the portofino is closed to the real.

    the inge, portugugese and aquatimer are very nice too ! the design of the da vinci is not really my piece of cake, but it remains a through icon of its time. michiel

    VC Ingenieur for me too

    but I am still waiting to see in real life again before finalising that one. VC Aquatimer is my 2nd best.

    Paul - my thoughts are fully aligned with you.

    I chose the Portofino sight unseen,

    The 46mm size intrigued me as I prefer a larger watch and the moon phase complication was the deciding factor. I have seen the other VC's and they are all worthy models, but the Portofino really caught my fancy.

    I am impatiently waiting for mine to arrive. : )
