[Leica] M6 cosmetic issue (film reminder)

The m4-2/p had a grey disc for noting speed with a pencil.  Or a sharpie for those die hard TXP or k64 fans. Just stuck on on my D3.  Bad idea.  Gets in way of display.  Easy to remember what film emulation is set tho

I thank all of you for commenting. 

I decided to do without the film reminder because 1) I shoot only b&w with this camera, 2) I use only Ilford film, and 3) the film speed selector is plainly visible.
