The watch did not subsequently develop a problem under warranty after purchase, the watch was delivered to you with a problem. If Rolex isn't held to the standard promised then its QC will not get any better.

probably get flamed for this but i think of it as the watch is capable of +2/-2 not that every one will get that rate, as there are a lot of variables which causes variations. If my car is advertised as 30MPG and i get 28MPG, the car isn't broken I'm just not using it in the exact same conditions the tests were conducted in. If its close then I am happy. OP's watch did function at +2/-2 before it left the factory its just not functioning at the same rate in the real world.

Double the rate sounds a bit misleading when looking at the number of seconds in a day. Its 4 seconds per day off instead of 2 out of 86,400 seconds.
