GR / GR ii - rough idea of shutter count/longevity?

Just wondered if anyone knew the shutter count/lifetime for a GR / GR ii? or a reasonable guestimate as to how long one might last.

My GRD 1 is from 2005, counting some 35,000 shots, and still works without any issues.

My GR is at about 10,000 now, but I would be rather disappointed if it doesn't keep going for quite a while yet. I don't think Ricoh specifies anything for the GR (unlike for the K-5/K-3/K-1).

Being a mirrorless technically, I wouldn't worry much about shutter acuations with these. I had a GRDIII that was also in the 30,000 plus when I sold it two or three years ago and from last report its still chugging along fine. It's a much simpler shutter system than in a dslr.
