No indication so far that my Fuji is any more disposable than my M8.2 or M9. 
Time will tell!
OTOH I have had no trouble with any Leica I own apart from the M9 which had 
something come loose inside leaving the controls without detents. I went 
back to Solms thrice before it was fixed, the third time without my 
intervention since the Leica technician at Leica UK was dissatisfied with 
the feel of the controls after it had come back for the second time and sent 
it back himself.
