Mike, We all understood that, that is why I entered into this thread. I got you the correct information so you would understand that your NEW bino's ARE covered by Nikon's No Fault Policy. A mistake was made then it was corrected. All this other origintaed form you, including,"I MAY have to have a catotrophic accident or two on a couple of models and test the waters on the warranty and see what happens and see if I can get a "upgrade"
miketodd58", came from you. Maybe you followed through with the above maybe you didn't, only you really know for sure. I'm a forgiving guy and ready to move past this thread as I"m sure many of you are since it has kind of turned into a soap opera.
