It looks like crap but at least I could rely on it to get me to meetings on time -- and to me a watch must be first-and-foremost functional, with looks and style secondary. Thought I had made an expensive mistake. But now with this data I'm confident that my Rolex can still be a daily wearer and an asset instead of an annoyance -- just have to get it regulated (and probably serviced as well).
I'll report back how it does after 5 days in fully-wound state. Thanks everyone for the advice.

You can't compare a mechanical watch to a quartz. A mechanical watch only ticks 8 times per second while a quartz high end movement pulses at 262,144 "ticks" per second.. no contest.
You cannot pick-up 14 seconds a day no matter what you do; take it in and they will regulate it to a couple of seconds a day..
