What time is it? Watches and horology

I have never liked Rolexes. Especially not the ones with a date, and that dirty great lump on the crystal. There must be something wrong with me, because they are the ones most sought after, and most faked as a result. I can't see the appeal myself.
That Explorer is the nicest one posted so far, but I still don't like the case shape or the general styling.
