Glad to hear you gave Zeiss a call and now know they are on the way back. Do you know the serial number for the unit you sent back? It will be interesting to see if they are sending a replacement or if it is the same guy with a new cover.
Oh yeah, I have it! :t:
I honestly can't imagine a new binocular. Although I think the light gray armoring LOOKS good, I wouldn't mind if they changed it for darker gray or even HT black.
