Funny thing....a lot of Leicaphiles spend money on unneeded CLA's, just to say they had a CLA done on such and such and so...personally, I would not bother CLA'ing the newly-acquired M3...unless you have it done by a repairman who is competent, and on top of chit, it's a waste of money. IMHO. Of course, if you just want to say you have $550 in the camera and be able to say that it's been "See-ellll-ayyyyed by _______ ____!" then go ahead and waste the money.
The only reason I would want to have it CLA'd would be to brighten up the rangefinder / clear up the viewfinder a bit. I'm also aware that at some point the film rewind knob was broken and repaired by a party unknown to me, so I would like to have that checked to make sure it's not going to break on me. But it is in working condition as of now, so I am going to shoot it for a while before I make any kind of decision.
