It is a dated design, but not necessarily out-of-date. I like the 70s cases a lot, having three Autavias and the Mark II in my collection. The thing about the (original) Mark II, is that it never quite caught on. Not in 1969 and not as a collectors item later. It has always been about the moon watch. So very nice Mk IIs are available for cheap, at least considering what a nice chrono it is, in a fun and funky package.
Here is an old pic of mine, I dug it out tonight and will be wearing it tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me, Omega I have the correct bracelet, but I much prefer it on mesh. Omega makes the best mesh!

A while back I tried on a Radiomir, I think it was the 323, that was on the most amazing sueded croc strap. I think they call it the "Jules Verne" strap for some reason. Now that's OEM of course, but as a concept...well...I've never seen such a pimp-tastic and luxurious watch strap. GO do one too, that I saw on a grey-dial Pano Reserve.
Review of the Jules Verne strap here, by a (former) SF member.
While it is rather spectacular, a personal note on tan straps: I got a nice and rather substantial 5mm thick Bruno calf strap for my Luminor in about the same tan colour as the Jules Verne, and only after wearing it did I find the colour too light, so I ended up giving it to a friend. Of course, YMMV and all that.
