Agree with your assessment generally
But I do think that there will remain a market for smaller, or what some might view as more classic, sized dress watches. Fashion from the 50's and 60's seems to be enjoying a resurgence (think "Mad Men") or perhaps it never really left. That golden era of watchmaking established the size and proportion of the classic men's dress watch at between 33-35mm. Small perhaps, but without all the superfluous complications of power reserve, subdials, etc the dial remains clear, legible, and dare I say expansive?
I think these remain an excellent value and while under appreciated today, their classic design is indeed 'timeless'.
