I told my wife I had settled on the Explorer (sort of ironic considering the article posted a few pages back on that very model) and she fessed up that she hates Rolex watches - with a passion. There's nothing she likes about them - at all. She even refers back to guys that used to hit on her. If they had a Rolex, and it sounds like a lot of them did, she blew them off referring to them as car salesmen (not that there's anything wrong with that!).
