Yes, what you and everyone here are saying 4 secs is within tolerance, but then I have had four Rolexes that run spot on daily. So it is possible to get more accurate than the 4 secs. But like I said I do not mind if one if it gains or losses but as long as through a month it is not minutes out. What I cannot stand is either it is constantly gains or losses daily.
Actually a constant (small) gain or loss is a sign of a good movement. What is problematic is when a watch gains/loses time in a random fashion.

Try leaving the watch dial upwards overnight and see what happens to the accuracy.
