Manufacturer's Warranty on used binoculars. (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Hi, I'm considering purchasing a good Alpha level, used binocular. I'm thinking of a Zeiss Victory or possibly a Leica Ultravid (Also the Nikon EDG 7x42, but that would be new).

I think that I had read that the Leica warranty is not transferable to a second owner, is that right? What about Zeiss?
UK warranty.
Dave,

The last I checked Zeiss had a lifetime transferable warranty which covered manufacturers defects only.
 
In the US the original Zeiss purchaser has a lifetime warranty covering "manufacturer's defects," but the warranty is transferrable to someone else. In other words, the new owner has the same rights as the original owner, no more no less. I know, because Zeiss overhauled my used 7x42 BGAT*P on that basis.

Some time ago I called Leica headquarters in Solms and they told me that the warranty is on the bins so it is transferable.

I bought a used Leica and I am informed, and it also appears to be the case from the documents that came with it, that the warranty is transferable here in the UK.
