I think they changed the viewfinder eyepiece part way through the M6 run from metal to rubber but it is easy to fit an o ring.
Lots of people cannot abide the rangefinder white out, or the steel gears.
And the OP said he did not need a meter.
It would have to be a very early M6 to have a metal eyepiece (did any have a metal eyepiece?), even the last 1000 M4-P had a rubber eyepiece and they ran alongside the M6 for a short time. The 'white out' is easily cured by focusing on something else, or moving the eye in the viewfinder, and it is relatively rare anyway and doesn't in any case affect the ability to compose the photo. And the steel gears, well the camera was beefed up to take a motor drive so some people may think it's a bonus that there is nothing much that's going to wear in the winding mechanism.
