Swarovski 10x32 el?

[Jakeweb09]

I am going to be comparing a set of 10x32 Els to my 10x42 SLCs and 12x52 Els next week. I already have 8x32 ELs and in all honestly they give up nothing meaningful other then weight to my other Swaros with larger objectives.
I may switch to 10x32s in place of my 10x42 SLCs.

Looking forward to the results of this? Please share what you find!

If you find too good of a deal on the Swarvoski try to get a serial number prior to purchase and check with them to make sure that the Bino's are on the up and up. I've heard that they will refuse service if they are reported lost or stolen. If you have any law enforcement friends there is a nation wide data base of stolen articles that might show up your amazing deal ain't such a great deal after all. I'm beginning to think it's nearly impossible to find a steal unless it really is stolen! I got mine through B&H camera for EL 10x42's. They are awesome but now my wife took them so I'm looking for another pair. How does that go. What's mine is hers and what's hers is hers.

Would you say that’s too good of a deal? If I decide to pull the trigger I’ll definitely do that though! Would have never thought of it

If you know the guy you are probably ok. But if not, then it does sound suspicious. I looked for about a month and the best price I could find was $1400. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t better deals out there.

It was on Facebook marketplace, I asked for the serial number and shortly after he marked it as sold. Thinking it may have been a scam

i compared 8x32’s to 10x42’s, and it was a draw. i kept the 8x32’s; same performance, smaller binos. for the eastern woods, it’s all i will ever need/want/ask for.

you know what they say about “if it’s too good to be true”. these things hold their value. there is always a chance you run across someone looking unload a pair, but folks in the market know what they are worth and will pay for it. great thing is though, if you elect to sell them; if you took care of them, you’ll get your money back...or at least most of it.
