hello I'm new to the world of rep, how is it possible to know the compatibility of movements, from what I deduce if I can mount a movement in my submarine 11660

Easy.

"Clone" movements are clones of the genuine movements they are inspired by. So you can swap them easily.
Ex: A2824 = ETA 2824-2, A2836 = ETA 2836-2, Seagull ST2100 = Unitas/ETA 6497, SA/SH/VR3135 = Rolex 3135, SA4130 = Rolex 4130, etc.

There is no compatibility (or with a lot of modifications to be expected) when you want to go from a SA3135 to an ETA 2836-2.

Hello,

Do you know what is currently in your 11660?

the movement is worth replacing, otherwise I have to trash everything ??

That is the standard issue 2813 movement that is used in many low dollar replica watches. It also has a plastic movement holder which indicates a cheaper watch. Please post a picture of the face of the watch. It may be worth replacing the movement with another 2813 if you really like the watch, or you may be better off just buying a new watch.

You can get a new 2813 movement for as little as $15. I'm not sure what the cost would be to install it but some of the RWI supporting vendors can give you a ballpark figure. It might be better to keep an eye on the M2M section to pick up a better quality, used 116610 rep. If you like your watch buy a new movement off eBay and have somebody install it for you.
