No more vintage Rolex made by factories ?

Hi all

It seems that the factories don't produce any vintage models any more. (the last one was the ST19 Daytona ) 
I remember that in a period there had been Submariner 5513 and 1680 or GMT 1675. It looks like they bet only on the modern versions for some time.
What do you think guys ? Is there a hope for new versions of vintages Rolex OOTB ? 
Thanks for yours answers

 You maybe right in your assumption. I was looking for a vintage 1016 and 5513 and there is nothing available from our trusted dealers, as far as I could see. Certainly, proces for second hand and modded vingate Rollies are going to go up.

I just got a 5513 (3-6-9 dial) with the stubby crown guards from Josh- it's actually a very nice watch. I like the bracelet, dial, bezel insert and the dg2813 is keeping good time. I'll start working on it when I get back from vacation in a couple of weeks. Trim the cg's and put a smaller crown in there.

So are the 1680 and 6263. After some follow-up over on another board, it sounds like the point of this thread is we have so many options with out of box modern pieces but not with vintages. There are revisions after revisions put out for modern pieces, for example.

Yes It's exactly that point
