In a recent thread it was stated that you should "want a new regulator so you have a warranty". Warranty for most scuba regulators is a 2 headed beast. Head one being the repair of manufacturing defects, the other being the marriage with the dive shop to service the unit, usually yearly with the complimentary baggie of parts.
There have been plenty of threads about the merit or not of arbitrarily performing yearly service and that's not where this question is going. Tell us about a true warranty repair your regulator received. I'm not talking about bring it back to fine tune for a little free flow but something that was down and dirty defective or broke unexpectedly. In other words aside from the baggie of free parts what is the realistic exposure without a warranty?
