Anti rub inserts were introduced in 1986. So, the one you saw was
manufactured between the M6's introduction in 1984 and 1986. No
differences than I know of. (Per Rogliatti)

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only
truth, but supreme beauty--a beauty cold and austere,
like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of
our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of
painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of
a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.
