All the 4813s ive seen available to the consumer market have the shorter wheels and pinions, making the unsuitable for reps.

Ofries sell them , but like i said, they wont work in our reps as the hands will drag the dial



The Cartel has those 4813s with the long wheels in some of their reps, and Sead has access to those too, but im not sure you can get just the movements from them.


Your best bet will be to replace it with a 2813 which has the taller wheels, but of course, it also has the slower beat :(

Thanks. It's for s B&R rep, so will have to stick with the 4813 to be sure of proper fit. Just looking for the best price. Someone awhile ago (on another forum) mentioned the movement was a Miyota (before I found the actual model) and that added $32 to the cost of repairing it.

Frie has it for $31.00 and Canadian seller for $30. Cost of s/h and taxes will have to be figured out to see who is the best to buy from
