How many shutter actuations on your 5DIII?

I'm wondering what is the most number of shutter actuations taken by a 5DIII.
I realise it's complete luck, though I'm curious nonetheless. How many has yours taken?

Mine is currently sitting on 310,501. Still on its original shutter.

My 5DIII is on its third shutter, most of mine crap out at around 130k. CPS verifies this is fairly typical. There's a lot of luck involved. I had a 20D and a 5D Classic that both chalked up over five hundred thousand actuations each. My 1D Mk IV had a bazillion clicks on it when I retired it. Same with a 1D MkIIn. Those 1-series just go and go...

A new 5DIII shutter isn't a big spend, usually just annoying when it happens. Now there's a solid argument for a 1DX II!
