Noooooo, I'm sorry. I just got some recommendations that said they were good. I don't know which are good and am taking ALL recommendations, HOPING they are good. I am not telling anyone, anything. Sorry about that and the confusion on MY part. :-)
Whew! :-)
Whew! is right! Glad you explained that. My go-to is a rubber armoured Steiner 10x50 from about 1975. Gets a lot of use and still good as new.
Edit: If you're going to be using them very long at a time, you want the best you can afford. The cheaper ones can be very tiring for your eyes. With the Steiner, for example, I can watch boats for hours (not constantly, of course, but often) with no eyestrain. Leica and Swarovski are the very best you will find.
