Subject: [Leica] Shutter speed dial direction

I am interested in adding a Leica body to my Hexar RF kit; probably a M3 or
a 0.72 M6.  On the Hexar, the shutter speeds decrease clockwise, if viewing
the stationary SS dial from above.  IOW, rotating the dial CW increases the
shutter speed.  Is this the same as the pre-TTL Ms?  I would like to have
both bodies work similarly in this regard, and would probably get the M6
TTL, if necessary.  The passport warranty sound great, anyway.
Incidentally, is the passport warranty included with any USA M6 TTL, or is
it purchased separately?
