Long story short, I sent my silver M9-P back to Holms for a sensor replacement. Leica taunted me with an additional €150 M9 service package (on top of the other stuff that they do for free with the sensor replacement), which involves cleaning the winding-mechanism, restoring all engraving (the engraving on my speed dial was fading), and replacing the bottom plate, etc. My understanding is that, basically for €150, they will restore the camera to like new condition. To me this was a no-brainer. But then they taunted me furthermore, telling me that for another €100 they can offer me to replace the old cover with an a-la-carte leather cover on my choice. Now this is really tempting as I would love a M9-P with a brandy light-brown leather. But the cons are: I have to wait longer for the a-la-carte, and I have black lenses, which might not fit the brandy light-brown leather. Leica has made it clear that they would replace the cover anyway, so it's between new black stock leather and brandy color genuine leather for €100 more and a few more weeks of waiting time (which I would hate) + a unique look that might not fit my lenses. What's your opinion?
