The ones I have seen look fantastic, but the watchsnob has bad opinions on it. They are owned by Festina.

I owned one once, bought on a whim for a crazy price and sold less than year later for an even crazier price
Beautiful watch, but I just never could warm up to it. I bought into the history and found myself looking at what I should have bought. This watch taught me to wait for what I really want and not buy a watch just to settle for buying something.

Here's mine, I personally think perrelet is a great brand and produce high quality watches. The fact that festina owns them doesn't diminish the brand anymore than swatch who owns many major brands. Handle one and then make your decision you will be quite pleased with the detail and quality of their watches. |

I have a double rotor model and I like it a lot. It seems very well made and looks great IMO. I grabbed it for a crazy price and it does seem like they can be had from time to time for 50-75% off the completely fabricated retail price.
Its cool and fun because the rotor on the front moves when you do. I know, small things amuse small minds. I like the look of the Turbine models and I have tried on quite a few. The spinning turbine blades are fun to watch. I could never own one though because unlike the double rotor the turbine is NOT connected to the movement., Its just a pinwheel stuck on the dial. As it serves no purpose but to look neat I will pass on it.
