Watch some videos and repair the keyless yourself. It’s a way easier to me than resetting a 2824 keyless. Parts go together like legos on 3135s

Thanks. You from bama?

ebay insert [on the watch]
new ebay insert [middle] [the pip is ugly so it will be gone]
arf insert

the new insert is in a nice shade of green but i'm unsure whether it's close enough to B3​

A genuine insert is the best solution for me at least ;-)
