Swarovski EL 8.5x42 binos with Aziak clamp and carrying case. They are in great condition and my favorite binos I have ever owned. I have had them for two years now and have finally decided to try to get some NL Pures since I have liked these so much.
Asking $1300 shipped in lower 48 for everything you see here. Pm if interested. Would be interested in trading towards NL Pures and adding cash as well. I have a lot of feedback on here so feel free to check it out. Thanks for looking!
PLEASE READ!!
It appears that there are some who may know more about Swarovski that believe that these are not els but are some other model. I only know what they were sold to me as by a Swarovski dealer in Greenville, I have the tags from when I bought them as well. I do not know what else to do from here but to call Swarovski again and get someone who has been there longer than a year to look up my serial number and tell me what they are. If they are not els, I will be taking them back to the dealer I bought them from and hopefully he will do the right thing. Please do not jump to conclusions about me. I have a ton of feedback on here and value my reputation too much to purposely try to deceive anyone. I have sold other expensive optics on here without issue. Please bear with me and I will update the post when I find out. My apologies for any confusion. Thank you to those who brought it to my attention. I am very confused but hopefully I can get this resolved. I just thought they were older ELs.
UPDATE!!!
Thank you again to all of those who brought this to my attention. I called SWAROVSKI and Lauryn was a huge help. I had already called them to check on this issue before but the guy I spoke to had not been there long and told me, "If they say EL 8.5x42 on the focus knob, that's what they are". He must not have actually looked up the serial number for me because when Lauryn looked it up today she saw right away that they were SLC HD 8x42's. She was even able to tell me that they were sent in for a repair issue in 2023 (before I bought them) and that the people that sent them in was the dealer that I bought them from. I went to the dealer with her on the phone with me and talked to them about it and she told the dealer that they are SLC's and not EL's and that I was telling the truth. Thankfully, the dealer made it easy and offered right away to refund me what I paid for them since they were sold to me as EL 8.5x42's. They were so helpful that I ended up just putting the money towards a brand new pair of NL Pure 14x52's and I couldn't be happier. They are incredible and what I was ultimately going to buy soon anyways so it all worked out. I have added some pics of my new NL Pure's if anyone wants to see them or doesn't believe me for some reason. I do not believe the dealer acted in bad faith, instead I think that SWAROVSKI may have put an EL focus knob on them when the dealer had them repaired because they may not have had an SLC 8x42 focus knob and the EL fit. I do not really know how it happened but I do know that both my dealer and Lauryn at Swarovski made what started as a very stressful situation for me, turn out better than I could have hoped for. I can not recommend Swarovski enough. You get what you pay for (most of the time haha), and their customer service went above and beyond for me. Thank you all for your interest!
