Worth $4000?

Hi, price ok to pull the trigger?

16710 pepsi U series 'swiss' dial, condition reasonable no box no paper at US$4000.

May I know what's the bracelet number for this model/year and should come with how many links?

Many thanks

we need to see pics but $4-4500 is about the going rate for no box/papers, more in other countries

personally i wouldn't buy an old banger like that unless it's been Rolex serviced and it has come from a reliable source.

It should have 13 links, U serial is 1997 clasp code should be V, Z or U. I will not have the SELs I would not pay that much without B&P I would pay less. What's the warranty?

Based on my experience with the GMT and GMT II, a decent watch without any extras should be in the $3600 to $3700 range - max! You are close to that price range, and without any other info or photos, it's hard to make an informed opinion.
