Why? Because the display caseback of the 177M showcases the cheap, low-beat 6497 movement, which is not accurate to the gen. Also, the finishing on the asian movements will never be quite as good as the gen. A closed caseback will hide these deficiencies, and in the case of the 005K, the caseback is accurately replicated as well. Not to knock the 177's, they are great watches in pretty much all respects, but if you're strictly concerned with accuracy, the 005K is the way to go.

Wow, that's some wicked bokeh on the last pic...What kind of camera/lens set-up if you don't mind me asking? Oh and I love the watch too!
