Even today the regulars through boxes away: just look on ebay howmany new rolex are sold: boxes are gone.

Thats the main reason ....furthermore a lot of sellers have pimpt up their mint and nos sets to ultra mint and ultra nos with papers and boxes. the new owners have apaid alot of money for these full sets: thus now they remain in collections....

but sooner or later some clever peolpe will hang out in China and address this to some factory owners....but be aware the Chinese like also to copy the copies.....
