For sale: Rolex GMT Master watch, Pepsi bezel, ref. 16700, caliber 3175, ca. 1998, new old stock

I am selling this new old stock Rolex GMT Master watch (Pepsi bezel, ref. 16700, caliber 3175, ca. 1998, the serial number starts with A29xxxx). The watch still has the stickers on the back and on the clasp and is in new condition (never worn - I put it few times on just to take pictures). I purchased it from Christie's and have all the paperwork. The watch is a complete set - see below (more pictures available upon request). I bought it to wear it myself, but never got the courage to peel off the stickers :)

Price: $12,900
