Leica M6 1 second

So its normal and need not service ? Since it doesnt protrude and block anything.

 

I have a M2, same problem, but the shutter curtain is significantly slower, and blocks a bit of the frame. Had to pay 33USD to get it CLAed! Hope I dont have to get this bugger CLAed...

You can test it (without guarantee): If you use 1 sec. or another long exposure time down to 1/30 and put the camera to your ear, you can hear a fine tickling, similar to a self timer, after the curtains have closed. This is the escapement. If the tickling is regular, with a slight decrescendo, it should be o.k. If it stutters or does not sound at all, it needs to be looked after.
