That will not happen.

Your analysis overlooks an important element. Bracelets (many made of precious metal) have been worn by humans for thousands of years. A Rolex is simply a luxury bracelet that tells time.

Pocket watches lost their luster because they weren't convenient; it was an extra piece of equipment to have on you and you needed a free hand to use it. Once we figured out how to put watches on bracelets then wristwatches because a more convenient status symbol than a pocket watch. And they will continue to be so.
