My Poor Man's Perrelet - Sharp Turbine Style Watch

I really like the spinning rotor designs of Perrelet watches, but they are way out of my price range.  However, I have a Sharp-brand quartz watch from Kmart that pays a bit of homage to the rotor turbine watches of Perrelet.  I like to wear the one pictured below from time to time.

While the rotor doesn't spin, the hub and spoke motif are timeless.

The Sharp Turbine Watch at Le Kmart!

As a man of distinction, good taste, and an appreciation of the finer things, it is only natural that I should gravitate towards impressive horological achievements like the Perrelet Turbine automatic watch.  But, alas, I have not the wealth to match my timekeeping aspirations.  I had to seek alternatives to the Perrelet Turbine.  Fortunately, I was able to snatch up this turbine-style watch from Sharp at Kmart for only $19.99!  Kmart even sent me a letter and key ring card recognizing me as a VIP.  Take that Switzerland!
