    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Has anybody used multiple Swaros binoculars in hot humid weather multiple times over the years, and have not had an issue with armor? I mean besides me.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Don’t get me wrong I love Swarovski equipment and the company, but this has been going on for close to 10 years. It appears that there’s no cook in the kitchen. Paul

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Wow your not kidding, that’s crazy. Though I would say that in areas that are not cracking and peeling it does look like some rough use on the parts that are not peeling. Just sayin

    So that’s the thing we spend $2000 to $3000 for.

    In the mean time we tell them to send us a loaner 😏

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing 🤪 If I woke up in the morning and seen a crack or a separation line on any of my Swarovski's, they’re be in the mail by lunch time.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Wow, that sucks. Get Swaro all over those , and tell them to throw in a free accessory for the aggravation and inconvenience. You mean the soap and brush are not to clean our hands 😜

    Gotta save the planet, at least that’s the thought behind it 😏. i’m quite sure that there are a few countries that will make up for it.

    I thought you’d never ask, second solution some might not like.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    No not environmentally friendly, yes carcinogenic and not biodegradable. But will maintain its glossy appearance for years, unless you like a satin finish 😵‍💫. I’m surprised nobody asked me about the second solution🤪.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Hi Herman, These two responses from Swarovski are are prepackaged and probably copy and paste when customers ask about the issue. I received the exact two responses from another representative, after my initial phone conversation with one of the managers ive worked with in other occasions. Imo...

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    SG, I was being a little facetious, there are tons of issues with all those other brands in the subforms. I was more pertaining to help prevalent this issue is common and what the numbers might be, which we probably will never find out. Vortex will generally not repair but will replace any...

    Here we again with the new May 24 stupidvision not reading well, and having attitude if he doesn’t agree with something somebody wrote. It wouldn’t be respectful to post the name in a public forum, but you have an issue with respect. You just joined one of the best and largest worldwide forums...

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Yup! We buy safes and cabinets for the optics (and guns) and keep humidity at 40% or less, we buy cigar humidors and keep the humidity between 70 and 78% , we have cases for our wooden acoustic guitar’s and keep that at above 60%. oh, and no wax for the cars, ceramic coating (or wraps if your...

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    I was thinking the same thing. It probably all depends on numbers. If it’s only a very small percentage of failures over a period of time , and if they’ve calculated that they’re not losing X amount of sales, then it’s not financially advantageous to come up with an expensive fast fix. For what...

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    I have an idea if some want to slow down the thread a bit, or to move it to the next level. Let’s have everybody post pictures of their defective or failing Zeiss, Leica and Nikon binoculars , what the heck throw in Meopta just for shts & giggles. Let’s narrow it down to failing armor, covering...

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    No need to rush, we’ll all be buying our binoculars with lead in the lenses and non-biodegradable armor for half the price from China. As the pillow guy said , I know you would.

    Yeah, now the bar of soap makes sense, but now it’s not funny or amusing anymore.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    No. I’ll post what I want. If you don’t like what I write, don’t read it. I’m bringing up a point that the source admitted an issue , but most likely doesn’t have hall the info. It’s quite definitive if you know how to read. Keep your snide comments to yourself.
