I also own the 5227R, to answer your question, the case back is exquisite. I don't mind it opens only 90 degrees, although I agree that maybe 120 would have been better, but 90 does not feel like a limiting constraint at all.

Reality is you won't open the case back very often, but when you do, it will be to great effect - a reassuring reminder of how special and finely crafted this piece is.

I would add it is a cool feature in a modern watch that hearkens back to the old days and the view is spectacular even at 90 degrees. A classic watch whose simple beauty I never tire of...
