Swarovski.

Leica and Zeiss are very high quality too, but I reckon that Swarovski's after-sale service (manufacturer's, in Europe - may not apply to the US) is at the top of the tip of the highest.

Have had 8x30SLC for some 20 years. 3 years ago, I sent them for service while in Europe, through a Swarovski dealer who was not even the one where I had bought the binos originally. 17 years in Africa, they were showing some wear and tear, for sure!

I received them back after a couple of months, from Austria. Brand new. I mean, brand spanking new. I'm sure that they just put the old serial number on a new body, can't see how else. The bill was listing all the things they had changed/serviced, an the total invoice was 0. Zero. They did not even charge for the shipping.

I had Zeiss binoculars serviced in Europe, they did not even bother to change the worn out plastic cap with the Zeiss logo on...

I have binos and optics by Zeiss, Swaro, and S&B, but any new one I pick is a Swarovski.
