My watch is slightly slow. If I manually wind it, it will speed up.
Is it normal for the Rolex to speed up a little if manually wound (especially if I am in an office job where my wrist is not moving much).

Well it will no harm whatsoever to manual wind your watch but its swings and rounabouts if it speeds up.You could try resting your watch when off wrist try laying watch flat dial up that might gain a second or so overnight.

Your watch is not likely to know if it is manually wound (by the crown) or manually wound by wearing it (through the rotor); they are both connected to the same winding gear and the mainspring is oblivious as to the source.

But with some more information we might be able to help you regulate it a bit better, such as Padi's tip for positional adjustments.
