new set of eyes
Accidentally smashed the crap out of my optivisor I've had for 20 plus years
It had the real optical glass lens not the junk acrylic one's you mostly see nowadays and a cool LED light I mounted on top.....A must have tool for cartridge set ups. I went with another Optivisor but in kit form.....includes a half dozen real glass optical lenses with different magnification, LED light, carry case, etc.....a bit pricey but worth it as its something I use everyday.

Re: new set of eyes
The new one is sweet Jeff. Looks like the case is bombproof so hopefully this one won't meet the same demise...

Re: new set of eyes
Which one is that Jeff? I need one in the worst way you can think of and then double that! I could care less if it's glass or acrylic or polycarbonate. My eyes are so bad that anything will be a vast improvement or help!

Re: new set of eyes
Yes, I believe you are right. Half of that price is for the case I think. I'll pick up the same make, but a less expensive model since I don't need all those different lenses anyway. I have a cheap $8 magnifying head-visor with light that will barely work for now, but I think I best get a spare and I think the Donegan is at least slightly better quality.

Re: new set of eyes
Yes that's the kit......Loupe-Magnifier.com features loupes and magnifiers
The Optivisor are the best made that are this style.....lot's of knock offs for half the money and there junk, get the Glass style lens over the acrylic there way better and they don't scratch when you clean the lens. I needed multiple lenses and like the case so I sprung for it......a few TT set ups and its paid for
I got 20 plus years out my other one until I stepped on it

With the lenses being glass and the variety in that kit, I'd want a case too! I'll get glass if I can. Originally Posted by A/V Solutions

Because I'm a client of Topper Jewelers, they gave me a 20% discount off the retail price, so paid USD $440 for this watch. As for TAG Heuers, I lost interest in the brand when they started...
