Message: <blockquote data-quote="Theo98" data-source="post: 3705942" data-attributes="member: 132099">Nikon Sports Warranty - EII Correction!John,I just spent 30 minutes this morning speaking to the US Nikon Sports Optics division that handles their binocular line up. For the past 4 weeks, a third "service technician" stated a purchase in the US would fall under their no-fault warranty. I continued to ask detailed questions and the tech kept putting me on hold for answers. Finally (after much prodding), they found the EII in their Sports Optic Line-up and could only now verify that if\when service might be needed, a copy of the receipt would be required and since the EII is no longer serviceable in the US, their policy is to replace the EII with a Nikon M7 8X30. If an Amazon purchase is a Gray Market item, then their customer service would determine the next course of action!??  :-C My previous statement about the EIIs general NSO warranty in post #19 is Incorrect, and I apologize to you and anyone who took "my hasty findings" as absolute facts (made a purchase myself!). I was excited about their long-term backing by Nikon and my original upbeat intentions became misleading...I have to learn to ask a lot more of the "What-If" questions!  The only consolation (and it might be a good one), are not only the many positive reports for their optical performances, attributes and joys of ownership (as you have Clearly Seen), but also of the EIIs quality build and long lasting functional usage and operation that many users have reported here on BF and other equipment forums. Again, sorry for the confusion... Ted</blockquote>
