Thread: Can binoculars be repaired

While boulder hoping down a creek last week my binos fell out of my bino pouch, hit a rock and fell into water. Immediately picked them out and thought they looked alright in the dark. Next morning one side had fog on the inside and I could see that there was a dent.

Took them to Gun City today and they said theyre not covered under Minox 30 year warranty since they were dropped and they can't be repaired because the seal is broken if there's water inside. Is this the end for them or can the water be got out? No condensation currently visible but I assume if they cooled down it would come back?

They're BL 10x44 HD and only had them 2 years so was hoping they would last a bit longer

Send them straight to Minox, I had a pair that were sitting on my little glassing mat and a gust of wind sent them down a bluff. Sent them straight to Minox and they sent me a refurbished pair. Was quick and painless service

Cheers that sounds like the go
