I just received my M2 back from DAG. It's one with the M4 quick load tulip installed by Leica, manufactured in September 1966. As always, DAG did his fantastic servicing. He performed a CLA plus a full overhaul. Don advised that he is very busy; it seems like everyone wants to get their Leicas serviced. Don's charge for all the work was $555.00 plus shipping and insurance. Amazing what the world looks like with a clean VF.

Yeah, he's worked on my M2, M5, and IIIf and they were all pristine when I got them back.

That's a pretty reasonable cost to overhaul an M2. I bought an M2 a couple of years ago that had just come back from an overhaul at Wetzlar and the service receipt was included. Let's just say it was quite a bit more expensive than your DAG overhaul

Enjoy the camera, Certainly one of Leica's best, especially if 35mm is your preferred focal length.

Congratulations. Don is the man. He's done a few for me...& to top it off besides a CLA....made this M4 Leicavit compatible, when no one else even had the parts!

A week ago, I sent my 1936 IIIa and summar lens to DAG for a full overhaul and shutter repair. Hopefully, in a few short weeks, I'll be able to say the same thing!
