is it possible to get a double exposure with the m6 by switching the rewind thingy, as it works with most other manual cameras, or does it mess up the registration?

It does not mess up the registration but it does mess up the winding mechanism. LEICA STATE NOT TO DO IT. I tried it once and the horrible sound of gears trying to mesh and slipping convinced me never to try it again. It is possible to run a roll through twice with very good registration as it is easy to mark and place the sprocket holes in the same place when you reload. If you need a Leica that will allow double exposures then use any LTM camera or the M5.
