That's too much variation.
If the watch is consistently fast or slow you can have it regulated. If its performance changes by that much, it's probably the result of either (1) positional variation that is much greater than should exist; or (2) the watch's being thrown off by movement when you are wearing it, which also should not really happen to that extent. The variation wouldn't be unacceptable in a cheap watch, but a Vacheron should perform better. Chances are that the problem is primarily one of lubrication, indication that servicing might be in order.
Dual Time JLC Movement's Accuracy
What is considered acceptable in terms of accuracy? I have noted that the watch has been off by 2 seconds or as much as 20 depending on whether it was on a winder etc. How do I determine true accuracy?
I go by how it performs when I wear it...
over the course of a day. On the wrist for 12-16 hours. Off, usually dial up, for the remainder of the day. Other people will have different answers, I'm sure. That said, the variation you are experiencing doesn't seem totally right. Bill
Bill, What Would You Suggest?
Contact VC in NYC? Chech accuracy by another means? Check without it being on a winder?

Been Wearing It For 9 Hours Now And
It has varied within 2 seconds but is currenyly excatly on time. Will 9 hours wear time provide a clear answer? BTW: VC in NYC tells me 10 seconds plus or minus is within standard.
Over 24 Hours And It Is To The Second
I assume this must have something to do with the watch winder? IT'S a Wolf and I have it set for 12 hour operation. Any opinions?
