New (used) speedy. I've had many watches but never a speedmaster professional. Loving this watch so far. Even though it's not a chronometer, it runs well within cosc specs. Love the whole boxset it comes in. What year would this watch be with a serial number 78xxxxxx? Bought myself a another book "a moon watch story" to add to the set.

Congratulations on your new watch!
I bought my Speedmaster new in October 2019 and have a 78XXXXXX serial as well.
To be more specific, it's 78855XXX. There is no way of knowing how long it's been sitting in the store.

I have a 7875xxxx bought from the Geneva boutique in June 2017. Serial numbers are allocated in batches and only generally indicate when a watch was made.

The hesalite has tiny spider scratches visible with the loup. Do I bother replacing or will this hurt the value?

My # starts with 7883 and was purchased 20 July 2019 at my AD in Maryland.

& by the way, congratulations, the package also includes some very nice books, I certainly enjoyed them and the watch is a joy every day. Leave the loupe in the box, don't frustrate yourself! Hesalite looks best and has been pointed out, Polywatch works well.

Funny thing is, not many people know about the 2 books under the watch case. Showed that to the guy I bought it from and he was surprised.

I had absolutely no idea about those -- thanks for the tip and excuse my ignorance.

How do you like the "a moon watch story" book if you don't mind me asking. Nice pictures by the way. Love my speedy too.

Lol....no problem. I was surprised that this set came with 2 cards and instructions so I kept digging and discovered the box is not attached to the outer case.

I bought mine about a month ago - my serial is 7882xxxx. As said above, there's no system to figure out how long any of these have been sitting in a store vault prior to sale.
