While not the intent of the OP we quickly went to the new blood and young guns willing to drop $10k on a refinished 16710 and the IG-fueled frothiness of the market.

From my experience there are a lot of ”young” people buying quality pieces. Many of the most knowledgable people I know are young. I really don’t see this as a dying hobby. I do however see some old school watch collectors feeling that their hobby got hi-jacked with new collectors, Instagram etc.
As for wristwatches going out of fashion. Who knows? I see no decline even though we don’t really need them. It is an accessorie. Not a tool. Many people today are attracted to having something unique and different and then vintage will often be much more interesting than modern.
