Congrats! Really curious to see how it looks next to the other dives

Nice going!
I take it you still had to pay for it. 
Weird listing behavior over on Mercari. I’d been watching them and saw average sale prices were easing up just a bit. Then with the Aurora release? Sales for all other colors spiked back up by at least ¥1000.

List price is still 5500 JPY. So yeah.
Regarding the strange mercari dive price fluctuations, I did notice it too, particularly the dense green and abyss blue prices went up a notch. I am still missing the green and the two matte limited colours which came out last year but I will only get the silver in due time.
Also unsurprisingly Uni is still keeping the supply very limited. I mean there were atleast 100 people at the venue but they announced only 10 winners which seems crazy to me.

Don’t know how accurate this info is, but the manager at THINK said that Mitsubishi will only be making the current blue model as standard and stopping with the dense green and orange.

Is there some sort of planned schedule on this, or has production already ceased?

I read it as: they aren’t making any more orange or green models.

The lead reservoir has cracked or separated, causing the eraser cap to sit loosely? I’ve never seen that happen before. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with disassembling the 925-85. The nose cone unscrews, but the middle section where the knurling joins the rest of the body is shut tight on mine… maybe loctite holding it together? Given the complexity of the lead length adjustment mechanism, I fear trying to take it apart without knowing any special nuances might break the mechanism.

Yeah strange. The lead pipe is just bent inside, not cracked or split or anything… and the cap just sits on the end of the curve. Never seen that either…
To disassemble it. My guess is the parts are joined by some sort of outward opposing threading (now clockwise — the tip— now counter-clock —the mid section — etc… just like it happens inside the “core” with the clutch and the brass sleeve until there’s some sort of pressure fit with a ring, possibly grooved so the parts go on top and stay there) but I think you’d need a specific tool to rotate the piece in one go and remove the mid-section — probably not the best ideia to throw myself at it with a Leatherman

The bent plastic reserve tube is a common problem with OHTO’s Promecha series. When it was announced that the Super Promecha was being discontinued, I went to the local shops to pick out the 0.3 version. But of like 15-20 examples on the shelf I couldn’t find a single one where the button was not tilted in some fashion. Gave up.
