2836 is match for the 2813, the 2824 has a different stem height. To swap with a 2836, you will need to get a date wheel overlay and new hands that fit eta. You would then have to hassle with getting the date wheel overlay to be positioned just right and then cut the feet off your dial and likely have to have it held into place by dial dots. Not really worth the trouble when the watch looks and performs just fine as is... just my 2 pennies

Stem height of the movement is what determines which would fit best in the case. Stem height is defined as the distance between the center of the stem hole and the dial seat.
Stem heights
DG2813 - 2.5mm
A2836 - 2.25mm
A2824 - 1.8mm
Those measurements may seem close together but even the difference between the A2836 and the A2824 is great enough to make the movements not both compatible in the same case.
You can usually get an A2836 to work in a DG2813 case. The DG2813 usually has a shorter dial spacer so the total heights come close enough.
You will have to swap the datewheel overlay from the 2813 to the 2836. You cannot just swap the whole datewheel as the 2813 datewheel tooth ring is shorter in height and will not clear other parts in the 2836. Also the hands and dial feet positions are not interchangeable between these movements.
Unless you have a spare 2836 movement lying around and can do the work yourself, you would be better off just selling this watch and buying one with a high beat movement already installed.
IDK why people are so obsessed about 21,600 vph. I have several reps with these movements and they don't bother me a bit. I don't sit around staring at the second hand trying to count 6 ticks. A quartz is one thing but 3 Hz is nothing to hate.

Honestly I'm just impressed with how good that looks for that price
Very understandable IMHO. That's a similar difference as 28800 compared to 36000 beats.

I don't trust "high beat" DG4813s DGs Dave. If it even turns out to actually be high beat.
There's some good info in this Reddit thread
https://amp.reddit.com/r/ChinaTime/c...ower_end_reps/
Many of the "HB" DGs listed on Ebay turn out not to beat at 28800. This has been documented by several members and is even stated in the specs of some sales.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/DG-4813-aut...-/222316411429
Finally, I just bought this Exp II from Nembo. It was sold as high beat DG (hb)
https://www.repgeek.com/nembos-corne...nds-price.html
I was really wondering what to expect since I knew about the checkered past of the DG2813 high beats.
Turns out it is not a high beat. I am actually relieved it's not, DG low beats are work horses and easily regulated to respectable parameters. Love this watch and great price!

Quite the opposite I'm afraid bro. Stay away, if you can even actually find one.

I'm guessing you didn't see my previous post?
Have you put yours on a timegrapher and verified the beat?
