Seeing that makes me want to think twice about to whom I send my Leicas for service!

There seems to be an awful lot of skipping of screw heads and prying going on! *cringe*

The best camera is one that still works!
I don't get a sense of confidence when I watch this person's dexterity ... or lack of as the case may be! 😛

I wonder how different M3 is to M2 when you try remove top plate? M2 has one little round piece at most right side which has to be removed. So M3 doesnt need it since it doesnt have it?
I would like try self if I find m3 in repair condition 😛

Made my skin crawl, seeing him removing all those small parts over a hard surface. One bounce and it dissappears into the carpet forever.

I think it's pretty educational to watch. I think that the Leica he was working on was previously not tightened up. The screws and retaining rings look really loose (or he's really strong)!
So if you plan to open up your M, be careful as the screws are typically much tighter. The retainer under the rewind knob, in particular is something to watch for, as the notches are rather shallow, so if you use a screwdriver in that way, the chance of slippage is very high. A better tool would be a lens spanner with tips to fit.
