I think we all feel for you - cameras like Leicas should not break...gradually wear, but not break. I had an M3, M4 and several screw versions yonks ago, and never had any problems.
It would be nice to think that Leica would treat you as the Rolls-Royce motor company did many years ago:
An english nob was touring the continent when the rear axle of his Rolls-Royce broke. A replacement was quickly sent out, and he was soon able to continue his extended tour.
When he returned to England there was no bill waiting for him. He queried this with the company, only to be told:
"Sir, the rear axles of Rolls-Royces do not break".
