Replace the Chinese movement with the Swiss

Has anyone from the watchmakers changed movement to Swiss?
Does anyone know what movement to buy, so as to get up, without any additional improvements?

I want to change to Swiss, I'm going to buy a mechanism not for dealers selling watches, as there is a possibility that they will sell Chinese ETA.
There was already experience with buying a rolex, the first time I paid $ 200 for the Swiss movement, bought the second time wrapped gold for $ 938 and eventually received a copy of ETA.
Yes it looks good, sort of like the original (if you do not understand, you will not immediately understand), but with detailed review it turned out that a copy.
And the dealer does not even know, he conveys the words that the factory gives him.

In theory, I know what movements should approach (sellers write the name), but I would like to hear the opinion of the person who changed the movement.

Thank you in advance for your help

It would probably help letting people know what watch are you looking to swap movement in.

We will need more details. Your post is a little vague. Swiss movements are frequently substituted for Asian movements. It all depends on the Watch.

I have a question as to whether the 2836-2 is the right one?
The fact that the watch sellers indicate in the description I do not particularly trust.
And it will turn out so, you will buy 2836-2 and it will not approach, places of fastening for example others will be and td.
the seller said that and selita 220 is suitable.
Therefore, I ask someone changed himself in watch?
