I'm looking for a nice Speedy TV dial but I have a question I'm finding hard to research - these seem to variously turn up on the bar bracelet or on a more regular style link bracelet.

Were they supplied on both? I think I prefer the bar, but looks like it's less commonly available

Yes both bracelets are original, I also prefer the look of the bar version, typical stuff from the 70s ;-)
Also don't forget the dial sunburst/back variation !

But of course the Bar bracelet for the TV is much nicer or at least is the more natural band .

Talking about the bar bracelet, I found other Speedmaster also use the same bar bracelet, however it has different type number such as hte Speedmaster F300 Quartz (see pic) -- so the question is what the original type number of the bar bracelet that the Speedmaster TV dial has?

And so, after many months of waiting and searching plus a convoluted deal to exchange against a MK2 racing dial, but I have my precious, fresh from a Bienne service....

Managed to get my favoured sunburst dial. It's on the replacement 3033/212 bracelet, but to my disappointment the end links make it overhang my puny wrist as they don't fold down enough 🙁

I have the original Holzer link bracelet (similar to the 1162 style), so even though the clasp has been overpolished, it'll go back on that. I may try to source a new clasp to fit for everyday wear.
