I've seen this thought postulated elsewhere and sadly it does appear that we are heading down that path. I do think though that there will remain a fascination with working mechanical things that will keep a small corner of the market active for a long time to come. And i think that market will be made up of the old mechanical watches that we cherish and preserve as well as the new custom made higher priced watches that are made for the person who can afford such things. Just my 2 cents....
Still here....

The mechanicals/autos etc made by the Chinese company do seem interesting but frankly are still more $$ than i'm used to spending on a watch. But, for me there is just something about having a 'Sea-Gull' watch that doesn't appeal. Maybe its just the name itself. In the larger view though, these will likely remain a niche market going forward.
Still here....
