Seamaster accuracy

I recently bought a Seamaster Chronometer Diver. I went in for a Tag Heuer Aquaracer and the sales person made me a very good deal on the Seamaster so I bought it instead. At the time I did not know the difference between a quartz and mechnical watch. I was diapppointed to find out that a mechnical watch is not as accurate as quartz watch. I wore the watch for a month an one day noticed that the watch had gained a minute or two. So I set it exactly to www.time.gov and have noticed it may gain 10 seconds one day, 1 the next, etc. I have monitored for about 2 weeks now. Never really loses time. Is this normal for that much variation? I also set my 15 year old Tag a week ago and noticed it is still exactly in sync with www.time.gov, seconds and all. Just wondering to if should get it adjusted. Seamaster minute wise it still accurate, however now that I know the seconds are off a little on this expensive watch it is kind of bugging me.
