Please do. Thinking of ordering it myself. Thanks.
Got the book. Very interesting. Talks about the speedmaster history with plenty of ref pics.
Modern speedys and limited edition ones are shown as well. Explains lots of small details many of dont know. Disappointed I didnt see my boxset in there.

I had a Speedmaster 3495.50 with 1861 with 77m serial bought in 2000. Serial is only a rough guess.

Whats Evitzee ? Mine is 7875xxxx dated 3-6-17

Evitzee is one of the guys above that posted his serial number for you to compare.
The box set looks complete to me. The two "books" under the box should be a little introduction to the Speedmaster and the second is an instruction booklet to change the straps.

The box set should include: paper weight, nato strap, nylon strap, loupe, strap changing tool and two sets of spring bars.

Just to be clear? Two sets of spring bars or two spring bars? Thank you

have fun

Two sets of spring bars - one set for the bracelet, one set for the strap (they’re different lengths)

I know you didn't ask me but I recall my set coming with 2 sets (all in one bag).
And from what I understand one of the sets is for the NATO.

Nevermind @rob#1 beat me hah.

OP, is there a question there?

As I stated originally, my Speedmaster bought June 28, 2017 has a 7875xxxx serial number. The hang tag seems to have a date code of '4/17', or perhaps it is something else. But your watch dates to early 2017 by all measures.

Is the complete box set (w/o watch) worth anything to sell?
Like vintage Omega boxes, they can be worth a couple of hundred or so... I'm looking for a box on fleebay to convert into a watch box as others have done here.

Yes, it’s worth something, but I’d keep it with the watch.
