Great shot! The Mark II is such an odd bird, I love it and hate it at the same time...which usually means that I'll end up buying one at some point.

Here is one from 1970 and let's just say it was more than 295 ;)

Thanks, everyone
Yep,it's the new one
I handled a vintage one at a recent GTG and it was awesome, but I love this one for the time being.

Great pics! I fell in love with the MarkII the first time I saw one with the racing dial. I wear the crap out of mine. It's getting it's fair share of bumps and bruises.

Just tried one on a few weeks ago. Very tempted. My wallet doesn't like pictures like this.
