I have mine too. The back of the camera has the ‘Leica Camera Made in Germany’ blacked out. The rest of the engraving is as you say. Just FYI.

Congratulations to all! Sounds lovely!

That’s interesting. So, there seems to be some variation in what you get, I wonder why...perhaps its regional. Or a pre/post lockdown difference.

I got mine through NYC. I’m told it is the 138th off the line by the Leica rep who made it happen. Here’s a photo of the back. Mind sharing yours? 
 

I like that the darkened rear lettering doesn’t compete with the white special edition Leitz Wetzlar on the top.

Got mine at the end of august and the engraving on the back is white.  

Wow this is interesting! I got mine at the very end of August too. Serial ends with 085. Love to see these White letter back examples and find out when they were made...perhaps we have a unicorn situation?

Seems we have a change DURING production or a little oversight by our friends in Wetzlar.

I think it's an oversight more than anything else and i'm not to sure how i feel about it.   Looks just thrown with what ever was available.   It was supposed to be the same as the monochrome except for the top script and its not.

Does the regular M10M have white or black rear printing? The official photos don’t show the back.

The covid shut down might’ve stopped this run in the middle, causing some mayhem. Perhaps someday this is a black paint M3 situation ;)

I’m sure COVID has a lot to do with it.  In the end it’s not that big of a deal but I am a little disappointed.  The back white script sorta distracts from the top script.  Just wish I would of received what I ordered.

For sure. I’d feel the same way. Worth asking what really happened, at least for the record. It’s not exactly an invisible deviation from spec.

BTW I just looked closer at your top cap and see your ISO indicator line is also white while mine is black...
