Does this link work for anyone on the Breitling website? It's not working for me and it's kinda bothering me because I want to know what it is! :D

OF COURSE, NOW IT WORKS!...Nevermind ya'll! :D
I'm confused on why they would have a link to something where you can do the same thing by clicking on the watch itself, than going to the configuration button....but oh well

It does seem a bit odd they would put that feature on the main page, when it's already a part of each watch profile. They renamed the "configurator" button "My Breitling made to measure" too, so technically there is no configurator anymore, even though "made to measure" is the same thing. Go figure. I like a number of the features on that website, including the ability to view all combinations of dial, case, and bracelet/strap, the ability to see the watch in 360, and the full disclosure of measurements and stats. But I wish they would do away with the videos and heavy flash at the start. Breitling's is one of the most painfully slow of any of the major watch manufacturers' websites.

It does suck but I think it's better overall than Rolex's site. You can't find anything about the damn watches on that thing.

Very true. However, honestly speaking I think Hublot has THE WROST website for any watch brand hands down! :D

That was exactly the website I was thinking about when I made a point of praising some of the things Breitling's website features. Rolex gives scant little information about their watches, although I do appreciate the wrist shots, and the relative speed. In all, though Breitling's site is pretty comprehensive. It's just annoyingly slow.

Hublot's is pretty bad. But I actually found myself shouting at the monitor when I was trying to negotiate Tudor's website.

So mrcheatle what did you finally end up concocting on the configurator that you would like to get? Did you save a photo of it? I love that feature on Breitling's site although it can be annoying slow at times, it's still a great way to see what combinations suit your fancy.
