Bob: Here's the copy verbatim from Leica's original M6 Titanium Finish publicity that I received when I collected my camera at Leica USA. Cover plate treatment: - - brass cover plate deep drawn in 16 steps followed by: - -grinding - -engraving - -fine grinding - -sanding - -nickel plating - -titaniumizing - -protoxidizing Leather covering: Specially selected calf leather, prepared in several steps. Image and looks: - -high quality - -appealing Performance characteristics: - -durable - -comfortable to grip - -wear-resistant against handling - -resistant against environmental influences - -abrasion-proof - -may be cleaned Production: - -consistant (sic) production quality - -durable and secure glue - -easy to remove for service There you have it; not sure what some of it means but I am sure it is not more fragile than other finishes.
