Supplier doesn't look particularly affordable. Post reeks of self-promotion.

He believes Foxtrot Marine is your company and you are using this forum as a cheap method of advertising it.

Well perhaps he should come back and apologise for his accusation
I will explain now why I asked the question............
I am wanting to purchase the following Binos Fujinon Mariner 7x50 WPC
When I googled it the 7th entry down the page showed foxtrot marine selling the binos at quite a saving? Thats why I asked the question. I was trying to establish if the company was genuine.
Perhaps idpnd. (if thats his real name!)lol should think before he responds. This is the first post on this site and to be honest I dont feel its a good start
I hope Im wrong

Rab

Welcome to the forums then.
"My good friend's" suspicion was aroused because it is not uncommon for posts to appear saying
"what do you think about this company?" "Have you seen this?" ete etc from new members who are simply attempting to promote their own companies.
Waste of time and effort because they usually get pulled by the moderators.
sorry cant comment on Foxtrot marine or their binoculars. Let us know if you find them a good company to deal with, or not, as the case may be.
Fill in a few details in your profile ... helps to make you look genuine

Don't let it put you off, the forums can be very useful sources of information, most people if that's what they thought probably wouldn't have been quite so blunt...

Hello Rab
First of all welcome to the forum.
Looking at this site and based on the Euro exchange they appear to me very expensive! and there prices are in Euro!
Always check a few' basic site comparisons'
Example:
Nasa Wind close haul meter UK £79.00 foxtrot €107.00
Nasa 'Clipper' wind UK £219.00 foxtrot € 275.00
Suggest you shop around the UK sites.

However, the Navicom RT650 combined DSC and AIS looks like a good price at €233. Only an extra €60 for a wireless 2nd mic.
Has anybody tried one of these?

Don't know about Foxtrot but I can tell you those binoculars are excellent. Had mine about 10 years now and they are still going strong, even the original battery is still working.

Yes, but had to send it back for a product recall - i'm sticking with icom in future - best quality and best backup (imo)

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your answer but my purchase was specific to the binos Fujinon Mariner 7x50 WPC,
Foxtrot Marine = 124.58 Euros
Here in UK = £169
Much cheaper which is why I am wondering have any forum members used the company ?

Foxtrot have 100% feedback on eBay France, and that does look a good price.

FOXTROT MARINE managed to send items to Northern Ireland faster than any UK store has managed.
I ordered the binos and it took 3 days to land at my door. Fantastic service will do business again with the company.
