upgrade M9 -> M9-P

[luuca]

how long do you think leica will propose this upgrade?

my M9 in this moment is in Solms for the last check-up before the warranty expires and I'd like to upgrade to M9-P at the end of 2013/ beginning 2014...

Sorry but what do you get beyond cosmetics ... ?
I taped the red dot and the "M9" and stuck a Giotto screensaver on the LCD for a total of $ 27.
I am using my M9 and be happy I saved $1500 that I am putting away for a Monochrom...

it's a whim... and then I get one more year warranty.

I'm happy with my m9, no interest in the monochrom (my mp with tri-x do the job...) nor in the new m(10).
I simply want change cosmetics after 3 years...

here you are my camera, after 12000 actuations:

now I'd like to see it in black 😀

Modifs were done by the previous owner from the Netherlands (special grey leather, thumbie, sapphire glass, new shutter and the special P cover).
Happy owner of a near mint M8.

what did you use to remove the black paint of 'M9'?

 

[KEVIN-XU 愛 forever]

Is there any discount on the upgrade program since they release MM and ME into the market?

You are a very luck man at least twice over.

I removed the white m8 paint on my old Black M8 with Methylated Spirits, It came off like wet paint! Black stayed there just fine
