My first (and only SO FAR) pair of Swarovskis. I bought them at a gun/outdoor store after playing with them. I wasn't even there to buy binocs-I just had heard of them and wanted to see if they were worth the money.

They were either the SLC or a forerunner of the SLC-I don't recall now...

This was in about 1992(?) and I paid a whopping $550 for them!

I thought I had the most expensive binoculars on Earth! I ended up selling them when I was needing some cash. BOY how I wish I had them back!

Could you send me a picture of your belly so I could rub it for good luck?

Damn, you stepped in it with that EII. The SE was also a good price, but if it's an old one, the coatings won't be as good as the latest version.

Where did you get these deals, Luke? A pawn shop?
