[ntp:questions] Is 24PPM an Excessive Real-Time Clock Correction?

I have ntpd running on a RHEL Linux Dell 1U rack server in another city.
I have no experience with other servers (to know how accurate the clocks are
or are not).
The value of "drift" that gets settled on after a few days is 24 PPM (about
14 seconds/week).
This strikes me as a little high, because even my $20 Timex watch does
better than this.
Any insight into whether 24 PPM is excessive for my server?
Thanks.
