Time Keeping Accuracy

Its possible to even get some very humble movements like a seagull ST19 a $60 movement to run well inside the COSC spec.As I have done for a experiment but on someone else's wrist might be totally different its because its mechanical.So when you look or tell the time you quote the seconds as well.If you want that sort of 100% precision I would go the quartz route or radio controlled

Don't get me wrong I am not saying wearing a Rolex that is not keeping to correct time is like wearing a fake. What I am saying is if I am wearing a fake then I know it is a fake. So if my watch is +4 secs then I know it is 4 secs fast a day and in a month I would be 2 minutes out and I need to adjust the time. 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.
