Those of you that use an opti visor, what power lens do you find the most useful?
Thanks,
Ed

Samie,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
I found a 3.5 power with a 2 power flip down. Now I am not sure it will be enough. I will look some more.
Ed

Edward that should be enough even for taken apart a 16 size or 18 size watch,,when you are checking the jewels pivots etc you will need a regular watchmakers loupe for that. Smile

Samie,
I ordered one with a 3.5 lens and a 2.5 loupe. I have a 4x and a 10x loupe for my glasses but not having the depth perception with the loupe's is bothering me. I hope the optivisor will cure that.
