Windjammer 😂😂 never heard of em mark. Remember the Jason autofocus? I remember thinking they were the shiit!! Haha The Windjammers have the auto-focus. Loved it. Couldn’t find auto-focus for many years until I stumbled across Steiner Police bins. Bought them...Glass sucked. Sold them. Now, I slum Zeiss glass. 😂😎

Just an update.
Got my SLCs back this week. New armor on them, replaced the focus mechanism( which was the reason I sent them in), replaced a prism and cleaned them internally and externally. Also gave me new eye cups, eye piece cover and lens covers. Free of charge!!
I will always own Swarovski optics. Why did they repair yours for free but charge irfubar $250? Not sure but I’ve sent my SLCs in 3 times since I’ve purchased them usually just for a cleaning and I’ve never been charged. They also have upgraded the prisms and eye cups the time before this. Never been charged for anything.

What is a Nikon Monarch IV ?????
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Well hell, I probably will get whipped for this but I alway employ strategy with CS of finding a V.P. who is a woman and generally hope that contact is during that time of the month where she is particularly angry. I act extremely genuine and offer her platitudes about her product and explain that there has been a miscommunication. Believe it or not stuff gets done if you do this. This will work with SONA.
Nikon monarch HGs are extremely good binoculars. I would believe them to be optically better than swaro slc 8X30 classics-HGs have field flatteners and the SLCs do not.
I have found that Swarovski is the best product out there. However, with optics there is a great deal of subjectivity because everybody has a different set of eyes.

My SLCs are coming back tomorrow from a focus wheel checkup and general inspection. No charge and I was not the original owner. The only charge I have ever seen was for a crushed scope tube, which was understandable. I haven’t sent allot in but I’ve been impressed with their service. You are kept in the loop. E-mails are returned, and can speak to a knowledgeable person. I appreciate that they will go above in coverage but also like that they do put limitations on it. Mine showed up today cleaned, inspected, free lens covers, and with a much improved focus wheel. They also replaced the eyecups, which I didn't request. No charge

I'd be pissed too at Swaro if I were in your shoes, or Greg W's shoes for that matter. That plain sucks. I bet you can get close to $500 for them though. Good luck.
