Just opened my Bond PO and this is what is inside. Is this the 4813 or is it something else? Sorry this the only pic I have and the watchsmith has the watch for band adjustment and lubing the gaskets.

This is most likely a 21j, but since most of the parts that could allow to identify it are hidden by the rotor, it's kind of hard to tell :)

I'm a noob but the best place to identify a movement is by the regulator/balance wheel?

The best is to post 2-3 clear macro pics under several angles, this way the basics are pretty much covered :)

I'm curious, how did you noticed if it's a 4813 or 2813 from this pic?

I think so too because of the gold colour, although im not sure. Otto Frei has 4813's which are the same colour.

Both the 2813 and 4813 exists in silver and brass color.

If you also have a high beat movement you can try to compare the "sweeping" of the second hands.

I would say low beat, but that's a long shot guess, since the video could make the sweeping appear less smooth than it really is. Can't tell for sure unless you put it side to side with another watch.

The rotor is a 2816 rotor. The 2813 rotor doesn't have the spaces/gaps.

Although in some cases I have seen 2813s with the 2816 rotor because they are interchangeable.....

Unfortunately you can't use the rotor to determine the movement type on these.
The factories are known to use whatever rotor they have at hand.

the front date wheel kinda looks like this. Further from the 3 marker... does that help?

Nope, doesn't help :)

The movement is a 21j, most likely a low beat version, but no way to know for sure without some closeup pics of the movement, especially of the balance assembly.
