Icon12 Is it possible?
I was lucky enough to get my hands (wrist) on a BLNR recently. Is it possible to be in love with an inanimate object?

I think the term "love" is not appropriate to describe the feelings of the owner for his/her Rolex -- the word "love" is not strong enough to express that very special relationship.

There are quite a few inanimate objects I love. Watches being only one category.

Mine is passion, I think. I would never trade any of Rolex watches currently under my ownership to trade for the highest end watch or something like I would call holly grail
Anyone can be deep into the objects be it a car or a watch in this case

"Captivated" certainly gets closer to describing the relationship between an owner and his/her Rolex. "Enraptured" ???

Love in the flowery, lazy language sense, not the literal, emotional sense. No, you can only truly love money.

"Obsessed" probably fits better in my case.
