Just got (a year ago) a brand new (preowned) SBGA499!

I visited Japan last year hoping to pick up my first Grand Seiko. I knew I wanted a Spring Drive because the movement is, for me, the coolest movement out there.
I was going for the Shunbun, but when I saw one in person, I didn’t fall in love with it the way I expected. The dial just wasn’t as vibrant or pink as I’d hoped.

Then I came across this one and immediately loved the dial color. The guy mentioned it was a special edition for the anniversary of the 9R Spring Drive movement, which made it feel even more fitting.
For a little while, I felt silly for not choosing one of Grand Seiko’s textured dials, since they all SO COOL! But that buyer’s regret is basically gone now. This has become a favorite of mine.

Long Term Parking Near Naha Airport

Hello! I will be staying in Okinawa for a bit, but will need to leave for 2 nights and cannot figure out what to do with my car.

The main issue is my flight is at 7:20 AM, so I am trying to find a place that has 24 hour access and where I can still get to the airport quite early in the morning.

I know that there is parking at Naha airport, but as that looks like it is first come first serve, I don't know how likely I am to run into the issue of the whole lot being full and then I miss my flight.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
