Hey Erik this is really interesting, I've known that Leica is very accomodating with personalisation in many cases i was wondering, how long did it take for them to do it? and i know that you shouldn't ask but was it expensive? (I ask because when i asked if it would be possible to re-colour my M10-P safari in case it scratches, their response was, all is possible but it will cost you an arm and a leg)

Wow!

This looks so cool!
Did they exchange the leather material from the grip to a custom one? Or is it the same piece of fake-leather the M10 Safari has? (I don't know if the Safari has real leather or the same substitute the normal M10 has).
I always wondered if they would also customize the handgrip, now that leather changing options are available again in the new semi-"a la carte" program. 

But you wrote you bought a black grip? So they stripped the black grip from it's paint and re-colored it silver? That's interesting...
I once asked if they can re-colour my M10-P, same as ERA23 did, and they said it's not possible...

This was done at a company that is doing all the repair work for Leica in the netherlands, they told me, so not at Leica Germany. Very cheap, € 75,00. It took 2 weeks before it was back.

I ment that i bought the standard chrome grip with the black leather. They only changed the the black leather for the safari leather. It is the same leather that is on the M10-P. I don't know if that is fake or not.

Looks gorgeous and the silver bottom plate suits the Safari M!
