What movement is this?

[JSL121]

I'm replacing this from a shitter rep I bought maybe 15 years ago. Can someone help me identify it please? The case is decent, so I'd like to replace the movement with one that will fit in the same case.

Not sure but I suspect it's a 2813

I appreciate the help. I'm a newbie. So, if I get a replacement 2813 it should fit the case, right? Any recommendations?

Yes should be a direct swap. Just google the 2813 movement and compare pictures to yours. They come in slightly different variations, but they should all fit just the same.

Since you say that it is a rather cheap watch and the 2813, although quite reliable, is the cheapest movement really, it might also be an option to just bin it and buy a whole new watch. You will be amazed of todays quality. Unless your watch is of sentimental value of course.

Each watch I sell or give breaks my heart
I have not managed to bin a single watch ever

but I did lose some in cardboard boxes and moving house. I still randomly look for them sometimes

Good point. I may just do that.

It lokks like 2813 and You can replace it with Miyota 8215. It will fit onto the case and the hands are the same. I`ve done this in 2 watches. Miyota is generally much much better than 2813.

Thanks for the reply! I was thinking about using the Miyota 8215, but wouldn't I have to do a DWO?

It looks like a knockoff miyota 8215 to me. I’d verify the dial feet position before ordering your replacement movement.
