WTB: Leica black dot

Anyone have spare one available that they would be willing to part with? (It's for an M6TTL)

They used to be available to buy from multiple outlets online but unfortunately no more.

DAG's all out of black dots and Leica USA won't sell him any more. Same with Leitax. Apparently Leica doesn't want black dots going on cameras they weren't intended for.

Anyway, I ended up finding a company in Hong Kong that offers repainted black dots (i.e. original red dots that were painted black) but am hesitant to buy one because a) they're somewhat pricey and b) I'm thinking it'll probably look a bad if the black paint wears off. And finally, it's not that big a deal and I'm fine with the red dot.

That being said, if anyone has an unused one left of the original black dots that were sold by DAG or Leitax, I'm definitely interested.

Black electrical tape works well too.
