It is my understanding that your Rolex is within the acceptable tolerance range for the change according to Rolex. It could be altered very easily by re-seting the position of the hands. To that, it will probably be different whenever it comes back from a service.
The Rolex has a quickset mechanism and that's the reason it flips instantly and also the reason why one can change the date at any time of the day without damaging the movement. There's no need to be concerned about changing the date during the critical time period on a modern Rolex because of the quickset mechanism.

I can't speak to the TAG but some change progressively over a number of hours. Hense we need to be mindful of the critical range.
