I truly don't think it is.
The era of utility watches, the era when rolex was simply a tool watch and not a luxury brand/watch, is not returning.
There are MANY reasons why we collect vintage watches, and I truly think that the coming generations will continue to love, enjoy, and wear vintage watches for the same reasons.

Prices may correct, go up and then decline again, but I don't think that vintage watch collecting will become a dying hobby.
Younger guys are more than ever before venturing the market. Social media plays a role with exposure. It is otherwise very difficult for one to be exposed to vintage watches.
I along with many of my friends and likeminded collectors started out with modern collecting, and haven't looked back once we were exposed to vintage.
