This has been an interesting read.
Brian, sorry to hear about the bad luck. That does sound pretty weak on Swaro's side.
FWIW, alpinecrick is a liberal tard poser. A two faced bitch.
Several years ago I bought a new pair of 8x42 SLC's. Used them for a couple years and the focus wheel always bothered me. Ever so very slightly sticky at a certain spot so I got the 'bright' idea use a little silicon spray grease on the spot in suspect....
Bad idea!
The 'focus wheel' got really funky and I had to send them in...
Fixed for free along with a nice letter informing my dumb ass that "please do not attempt to lubricate the bino's by yourself"....
They said it in a nice way.
That said, going by your and Greg's deals I won't be buying anything from them in the future.
