I never have been a big quartz watch lover, Breitling Aerospace, a Locman or two. I have a few nice quartz pieces, I dig the Locman watches, some tech. watches, but I have never been drawn to the dark side as much as this Campanola. I read the article in Watch Time about the dude that went over the edge on the pieces, and I feel for him. I feel myself wanting one also, quartz or not. I will never give up my automatic pieces, still the little fingers of the Asian man lacquering the dial on the Campanola till his tips wore away! Magic! CTWG
