16710 bezel insert

I'm looking to get an original new pepsi insert for my GMT 16710.
With the RSC being closed for who knows how long I'm looking for another option.
I know some sellers are listing this item in the for sale forum, but I'm not about to get robbed for $400.
Would anyone be able to point me to a source that I can purchase one for a realistic price?.

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply.
$150 would be realistic for me.

I'm in no hurry,
I have a black and my favorite the coke, I'm just looking to complete the trilogy.
I'm in Jersey 15 minutes from the NY RSC, I'm not even sure they will sell me a pepsi bezel when they reopen but hoping they will if I don't find one sooner.

They won't sell you one unless you surrender one. $400 isn't completely unreasonable btw, especially if sealed.

What $400 is reasonable for something that in the real world costs. just $75 or less direct from Rolex

I bought a Black and then a Coke bezel off ebay - somewhere in Italy for around 250 USD - if you look out for the correct packaging (best buy brand new), you can't really go wrong if it's a trusted seller. I am very pleased with mine, and now prefer the Coke to the Pepsi. There are often these items for sale and so why wait, unless you need someone to install it for you.
