Pretty average to poor. Especially if you are cogniscent enough of your positional performance to rest overnight in suitable position to gain or lose against real time. You should achieve close to 0

240 Q movement question
I bought a 3940 (2006 vintage) in November, and I'm having an accuracy issue that is more interesting than it is troubling. The watch is accurate over the long term (say, after a month) and never more than a minute off. But if I check it in any given mome...
Yes.
I wore a 3940 nearly every day for about 10 years. It behaves in exactly the way that you are describing. It speeds up and slows down but ends up back on time or very close to it. My 3940 is probably accurate to within about 3 minutes per month. I have ha...

happy to hear mine is not the only one. The variation here is not a problem for me as long as it stays within its current bounds.

Thanks, but
I now realize, for the reasons discussed here, that problem isn’t with the movement. The problem is with the play in the joints between the movement and the minute hand. Because of the nature of the issue, the minute hand can “gain” or “lose” a minute a d...
A quite common problem is to little friction in the minute tube.
Can be fixed, but it requires some skills and experience (and a dismantling of the movement). So your theory is most likely correct.
thanks for the insight!
I'm OK with the status quo and in no hurry to have anyone open the case, so I think I'll do nothing until the next service interval.
Such a high fluctuation is very poor. You may have a bent pivot
I suggest you attend to it soon.
Thank you for the explanation.
I also have several watches, including a 240 PP movement exhibiting the same. In addition to the friction in the minute tube, can it also be attributed to the placement of the dial. Ideally, the dial centre is also the exact centre of the hour/minute hand...
