Well, actually, the trouble is not the ideal scope itself, it''s that when I used it to look at diamonds in the store, the sale people get upset!
I just came from the diamond district at 47th st in New York. I went to a couple of stores...
Problem #1, I seem to know more that the sale people from reading this site and other place on the net. They try to explain what GIA is to me, I tell them what pavillion angles I want, then they seem stunned and don''t know how to find that info.
Problem #2, they show a couple of "good ones" based on GIA table and depth, I pull out the ideal scope and see leaks and a mess of arrows, so I reject them, then a manager almost threw me out of the store!
** Can someone recommend a few stores in New York that have knowledge people and don''t mind the customer use their own tools?
