The M60 has a square cutout, also  looks much better, never adopted for  other M's.  Notice the square cutout for the rangefinder adjustment, much cleaner than a slot.  @Kwesi no lugs.

True but with the M11 you have 2 rounds including the adjustment “screw” cover, and 2 rectangles. 
I have to say the M60 implementation is much more elegant. It’s a pity they didn’t adopt it. 
I wish they would go back to the tiny screw cover of the M9 and prior bodies.

They didn't adopt the design and they never again used stainless steel for a body, it was a very difficult material according to one source.  It's a high quality stainless steel and never fingerprints unlike my equally expensive refrigerator that never met a fingerprint it didn't like.

 

This one is also beautiful.

@Kwesi no lugs.

That’s because it has a lacquer finish over the stainless steel…

(yes I have two 🙄)

Especially as the brightness sensor has an essential function for the TTL flash and EXIF. Maybe the camera would. look even better without the rangefinder patch window?

I don‘t understand the initial idea of the thread. At least how the subject fits the answers. Am I the only one? 😂

Ah, didn't know about the lacquer.  It's a beautiful finish and camera that gets little love, I use mine when I want the film experience without processing, scanning and storage of film.  

Two?  I am guessing there is an interesting story here, if you care to elaborate.  

To the OP, apologies if this thread might go sideways a bit.

Good idea!
