When I first went onto the Brunel site I found that on face value, you currently do not get the 3.5x objective lens as part of the package. Yet I noticed in Lee's review that there was a picture of it and the price is the same as it is now suggesting it was included. To buy the 3.5 objective lens separately is about £40.00 inclusive of VAT. Lee suggested contacting them and I did asking if it would be included and received a mail from Alan R Potter (MBE,MPhil,DSc(Hon),CSci,FIBMS) Managing Director" I advised him that a friend had purchased the scope in April and had the 3.5 objective lens included he said : Hi Vic, It wouldn't be fair not to offer you the same deal as your friend - so yes it would.Best regards, Alan. This is quite important as it raises the Mag of the original package from 20x to 35x - a significant jump. They are obviously not obliged to include it and it shows good customer appreciation which I have not seen from a company in a long time. It may be prudent to have regard to this posting and make a similar enquiry if you get around to putting in the order - which by the way was delivered in 24 hours. cheers, Vic

The replacement movement has arrived from India!! Errr ... but I missed the postman :rolleyes: So I have to take the postage receipt in and pick the package up from the post office this afternoon, once the postman has finished his runs and returns to them. I'm sure it will need a full service, and I hope their Indian "Full Service" hasn't wrecked anything ... we will see, and as per usual I'll posts heaps of pics. Lamb roast with my parents tonight (Mum's Lamb > Watch Restoring!!), so I don't know if I'll start working on it late tonight, but I wanted to update this thread and keep you fellas posted. Stay Tuned ....
