Swarovski 15x56 SLC

[Hunterface]

Need some help please: I'm looking at buying a pair of used Swarovski 15x56 binos but I noticed when looking there are two different body designs. Can someone please tell me what the differnce between them is, if any? Two pictures attached.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

#2 is the upgraded SLC NEU model.

The SLC Neu has updated lens and prism coatings as well as possibly the easy clean exterior coatings depending on its age. This one will be brighter, have more contrast and more neutral color transmission.

I I were you I would only buy the SLC NEU version.

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy a pre-Neu SLC, depending on price and condition. Anything with a serial # above 68k will have Swarobright.
