2836-2 Vs DG2813 Movement Questions

[Black Magic]

Hey guys,

I bought a watch and was under the impression it was a 2836-2 Clone movement, however I have just been told by a watchmaker that it is actually a DG2813 and not a clone. The watch was originally purchased from TT.

Can any of you guys identify this movement for me and give me an opinion as to what one would pay for a replacement of each movement.

Thanks guys

Definitely not a 2836. It's a 2813 or its variants.

Looks like a SMP. But then again cartel's not a TD here.

Yep. Crap. From "Trusty".

Just email him and ask for a replacement.

Ask them to refund your shipping cost.

The piece is indeed an SMP and was bought from M2M (Catch & Release) so I'm somewhat stuck with it. I have been quoted $140 to replace the 21J movement due to a faulty date wheel but figure there's no point if a new watch is the same cost.

Fair enough I understand that dealers might not know the product they are receiving is actually an inferior movement, perhaps the factory is trying to pull a fast one. Nonetheless any dealer would have been able to tell right away this was a low beat once the timegrapher was hooked up. Suffice it to say I will not be purchasing from TT.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

From M2M? mind linking us to the sales thread?
Btw the dealer will be able to tell even without hooking it up on the timegrapher, its pretty obvious actually.

buy a new 2813 for like $25 and swap it yourself.

Could one not say that maybe the M2M seller swapped out the movement??? Nevertheless, I would hope the seller would make it right if it was sold with wrong movement listed?? Mistakes due happen!! Good luck

It was over on RWG about a month ago. I've never had an ETA Clone so not sure how they feel, I've got 5x 7750's which funnily enough all feel very different and a few 21J's & 23J's which also all feel different.

I wouldn't know where to start but might give it a try :

The seller has already made good on the sale, this thread is about the movement and subsequently directed towards the dealer.:ninjagone:

I have a new DG2813 I got on the bay from a German guy. Cost all of 35 bucks shipped to Canada. There's a ton of info on these that may help you change it out yourself.
