[Leica] Leica M10

There exists a nonzero probability of chancing across a ticket on the 
street, or to be gifted a ticket by your great Aunt.  The probability of 
a given person acquiring a winning ticket in this manner versus 
purchasing one in any given lifetime is indistinguishable by any 
practical measure.

Regarding the M10, wouldn't it be the cherry on top if the M10 had an 
M3/4/6 tiny clockwise shutter dial ?  But otherwise, gosh, isn't the M10 
pretty?  For an MP or M3 owner, it stirs the imagination.
