Questions before service

I recently acquired an '87 Datejust, caliber 3035. It's the most accurate of my 3 Rolex, gaining only 1 second in 2 weeks and it's on my wrist 24/7. There's only 1 problem: on the timegrapher, it has a high beat error of 0.7-1.0 but beat rate is -1 to +2secs/day on all positions with amplitudes of 245 to mid 270's.
Its service history is unknown but since I bought this from a Jewelry store that has an in-house watchmaker, I suspect that it has been cleaned or oiled (?) and adjusted. I doubt that it underwent full service.
Would you be bothered by the high beat error?
Thanks for any input.
Another reason not to buy a timegrapher?

Jimi, that's acceptable. No need for service because of it.
The max beat error allowed right after service is 0.8, so you're close enough.

Vanessa, thank you very much!
It looks like it may still be good for a couple of years.
