Description from the seller
Leica M3 Chrome – Exclusive Serial Number 855 555 (5 identical trailing digits!) – Endorsed by Vintage Quality Cameras
An exceptional collector's item with a uniquely repetitive serial number, highly sought after by international and Asian connoisseurs.
An iconic Leica M3 Chrome. This particular specimen features a highly unique and rare serial number: 855 555, with no fewer than five identical trailing digits.
Within the global collectors' community, and especially in Asian countries (such as China, Hong Kong and Taiwan), this kind of repetitive serial numbers carry enormous status. The number starts with an 8 (the ultimate symbol of wealth and prosperity) and is followed by the five fives (55555), which in Eastern numerology stand for balance and harmony. This unique digit combination makes this camera a symbol of exclusivity and an extremely valuable investment.
Technical condition: The overall technical condition of this camera is good.
Viewfinder & Framelines: The viewfinder is beautifully clear and completely free of dust. The framelines are also clear and sharply visible.
Shutter: The shutter speeds sound correct to the ear and the shutter cloth is in fine condition.
Cosmetic: The camera shows light signs of use appropriate for its age. A few spots are visible around the viewfinder. The vulcanite covering is well intact. Note: The included photos form an integral part of this description. Please view them carefully for an accurate impression of the cosmetic details.
