Movement replacement for a Chinatime rep

[xairate]

Hello Experts,

I received a PP aquanaut from Bro Wu.

Love it.

Only issue is it gains about 2-4 minutes per day.

So I was considering my options:

1. Go crazy, buy a 2824 movement (or 8215 movement) and get it installed in my watch from a watch-smith --> But is there a point in doing this? Does the price justify the results?
2. Just take the watch to a watch-smith and get it adjusted and demagnetized --> not sure if the local watch-smiths where I live would be willing to service a chinatime rep (most watch-smiths in my area are actually jewellers)

Please help out a noob.

All movements can be regulated ... so geu it done ...
If you want to replace the movement it all depends on which movement is in your watch ...
- DG2813 you can swap for a Miyota 8215 ... too cheap to be serviced ...
- Asian 2824-2 you have it serviced ... or swap with a gen ETA

Thanks
I will purchase an 8215 movement and get it replaced.
Any idea who could get it done for cheap? I can ship my watch to them

My bad. He is a Chinatime Dealer

Since I have the attention of some folks, it would be really nice if someone could share a good source for 8215 and 2824 movements

I found these on aliexpress:

But not sure which ones are reliable.

It's Ali.

Just get the cheapest. Ali means 99.99% mass produced identical items at different prices.

When you get an Ali item that costs $100, but another shop has it for $10, you're not getting a superior item. You get the exact same thing (probably even from the same factory) while overpaying by $90.

There may be exceptions to this rule, but it's mostly like that. Same with Dhgate...
