The general advice is that the 2813 is a bad choice for practicing on because a) it's got areas that are way more fragile/fiddly than is good for anyone's sanity, and are likely to put a beginner right off the idea of working on a movement, and b) the 2813 is designed to be effectively disposable - they're so cheap it isn't worth the hassle involved in trying to fix one.

The Starking watch that is featured in the video was on sale last year for $15 or something silly like that - so members here were snapping them up to get a stock of spare movements, protected by a handy free watch!

Yeah i learnt that haha and some members here guided me not to go towards there.
i was gonna comment the same about it but im like im just a noob so id rather not say anything haha.

damn 15$ from where?

Aliexpress. Out of curiosity I went there after posting above, to see what sort of deals they currently have. I didn't see any as cheap as $15, but there's still some great deals if you just want to have movements/watches to mess about with. I would assume that these are 2813 (someone cleverer than me might confirm whether they are). Also this one at $18, with hand wind skeleton movement.

The skeleton looks too complicated haha. I’ll check the dg2813 ones maybe for parts. 15$ was a crazy price
