Is it possible to put a ETA 2892-A2 into an ETA Rolex Seadweller with a clone ETA?

Really love that Seadweller, the asian movement is solid, datewheel alignment is perfect, however, its about +15 seconds a day. I have an extra ETA 2892-A2 lying around as well as an ETA 2834-2 and ETA 2824-2. All 3 are unopened.

Would like the best movement possible inside the watch. What's recommended?

Get the movement regulated. 15 secs is not much at all, and can easily be regulated. If you need to swap the datewheel overlay, it might be not as precise as it is now.

If you do change the movement a 2892 stem height will be the issue here. The 2892 stem height is lower than both the 2836 which is in the watch and the movements you have. I would fit the 2834-2 its a direct swap.
