I just spoke to my dealer and he was told that they wouldn't start shipping the M11 in silver until the bulk of the black have been filled.  We may be waiting a long time.  I prefer silver myself but was on the fence for the black.  After seeing the premature wear on the black finish I'm holding out for silver.  Wish I hadn't sold my M10P, could be a long wait!!

Let me know please if you have heard otherwise, thanks

Was that from a Leica boutique?  That's too bad as I am only focused on the silver model.  Was this ever the case with prior M introductions?  I guess it helps production efficiency but makes a significant portion of your customer base wait.

Signed up on a waitlist at my Leica dealer (Leica Owned dealer) but haven’t heard a word… decided to go with a like new M10-R for now as it has battery compatibility with my M10 bodies. Also not really happy to hear about all the reported M11 bugs, especially the exposure comp one. I realize that many new products can/will have hardware and software issues but I think some of these obvious issues should have been caught with the beta hardware sent out. I’ll just wait til firmware gets a little more stable and/or availability opens up….most likely I’ll just wait for the P version.

Situation appears to be the same in EU, except a tad worse, as even the German Leica store only had them in stock a couple of times, very briefly.

Independent stores are getting nothing.

So it seems most if not all of the stock is getting sent to the US.

Mine arrived a week after the expected delivery with a lot of apologies from Kücher.
Fresh batch too, as it came with 1.2.1 preinstalled.

Just got a call from the Leica Bellevue store saying they had a silver m11 for me.  Since I already got one I told them to give it to the next person on the list. So if you are in the waiting list there you might want to make sure to pick up any calls from that area code.

Left my name at the Los Angeles Leica Boutique 6 weeks ago for a silver model,  got the call this morning and picked up just now.  Wanted to give them my CC and pay for it over the phone so I wouldn't be rushed to pick it up but it wasn't an option.

You're waiting for P version. Note that in the beginning it will be full of bugs.

That argument with the bugs on the M11 is quite unprecise. What is your point re exp. comp? There is that wheel which I use every day.

Instead of opting for a waitlist, I purchased from B&H. It is what it is but my biggest issue is that no one, anywhere, can give me an ETA; not even a SWAG. One Month? One Year? Who knows. Since I used PayPal, B&H has my money. Their response is that orders are filled in the order they are received. Okay; how many are on order and are paid for? Cricket...cricket. I don't regret ordering and am excited to get my hands on it. Meanwhile, I'll just make the payments.
