Rolex will survive, but a lot of the entry/mid range Swiss brands will face stiff competition. Most of the Germans (Sinn, Damasko, Nomos) have only been around since the 90’s and have already shaken things up.

The whole Swiss entry level is basically just ETA 2824. If you can buy one for $300, why would you buy a watch for $2000 with the same movement? There’s no value add when compared to Germans (Damasko use the same movement but at least they have their case hardening, anti-mag and crown tech to justify the cost) or China (legit tourbillons at $1k). You can argue the finishing is better, but it’s just a few more operations on a CNC, not any handcrafted artisanal stuff to justify the extra cost.
