Rolex 17013

Why is it almost impossible to find a 17013 i excellent condition with box, books, papers and hang tags? Also, didn't the 17013 and 19018 come with the same red chronometer tags as the automatic DJ's and DD's?

I would think it would be easier to find a complete 17013. The two tone is the most common. Type in oysterquartz on the bay and at least 75% of what comes up is the two tone.

Do a good number of the 17013's on flea-bay come with the complete kit? I saw a 17014 and a 17000. I've also seen the 19018. I even saw a 1630 which is the same case in TT, but with a self winding movement .. it had the wrong tt bracelet I wont be able to die happy until I am able to add a 1630, or 17013 to my collection.

Same kinda goes for the King Midas, but not a requirement etched in stone. Would certainly be super cool to own, especially the complete set with boxes.
