The picture part of the image is 280x230 (just tried it in photo editing software), so no, the picture won't be that good, bit naughty to display it like that! Still looks a good buy to me though.Next year we'll be millionaires!0 -

Ahh nooo your not the company got another name i purchased from their Thornes website but that now directs you to fenixbuy.com they must have rebranded, but their old company name was Thornes LTD but now they have chnaged the name. I think they went through a rebrand, thats why most of the stuff on there seem to be on sale now :S
About the image quality no its not as good as on there but it is better than on most phones or mp4's . I have an Iphone and its very similar to the 3g iphone. But yeah its kool every1 looks at it at work

Still wouldn't buy from them - no contact details or phone number. First review posted only 3 days after the site went live? Could be I'm getting very cynical in my old age, but I don't trust my card details to just anyone - and newly online sites with no contact details are not somewhere I'd like to take a punt on.:eek:

yhyh good point, ive been fine with them so far i think i will contact them to put their details on
dunno why the havent done it they had on thier previous one

Sorry but to me it seems as if you know way too much about their website and company development to be an unconnected party.
Plus rebrand does not equal sales as the brand of the company has no relation to the value of the goods they are selling.
If you are promoting your own company it is probably better to come out up-front and admit it.0 -
im actually being serious and nooo i dont even know anyone about teh company or anything im new on here so i thought i would post. Being teh reason that i bought a £115 watch and has gone down.
i didnt get a word about the rebrand bit but i dont know im just saying from what i know as i like to know who i give my money to when im online. Thats why i research on companies before i purchase.
But like i said on their previous website Thornes which is where i bought the watch from it was £115 and when you go to the website now it directs you to fenixbuy.com which suggests that tehy must have changed names :S
shish you cant even post anything without anyone wanting to have a big debate about it lol0 -
Well, Fenixbuy seems to be owned by a 17 year old - after a bit of searching. Take a look at: http://www.shell-livewire.org/network/omarmarcelgashi/Apart from that venture im also setting up an online business selling electronic goods such as, branded and non branded mobile phones, mp3s/mp4's etc...
the website has just gone up...https://www.fenixbuy.com
So doesn't look like a "rebrand" as mentioned. I'll let you draw your own conclusions on the site. See more photos of the watch in question from here: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Style-Steel-Player-Watch/dp/B0016PNWX0
It doesn't look that great picture quality if you scroll through the images

Note about 10 minutes after posting this the shell website now says he's 34!! It's all a bit conspicuous isn't it, but google cache never lies:

As you can see from the profile on the updated (new) page:
From the new website, "which is aka Thornes UK LTD." has been added, obviously to cover themselves. I suspect the original poster is in cohorts with the website, or the website owner is reading this and changing his profile to suit, accordingly! Strangely the OP seems to be on the site at the same time omarmarcelgashi's profile is online on shell, and updating.... but as with celticsprite - just a cynical view thereRecent Activity

I've also got a screenshot of the cache for records, but I think this makes up my mind on not to buy from, or trust that website at all!!!!
Edit
Further on their website, despite looking like a UK company, the 'competition' on the website is only open to "Continental USA Residents Only". It's either a circumspect or unprofessional site, you decide(!)0
