pmartin245 0 Posted April 2, 2016 Is this a DG2813? Watch was sold to me as a 28.8k bph but my timer says different. Movement is shot and needs replaced. Need to know what to purchase to send off to watchmith. And where to purchase? eBay? I'm located in ConUS. Thanks in advance. Edit: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROLIE 46 Posted April 2, 2016 2813 for sure and try the bay for a new one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah, 2813. If you're upgrading to a 2836 or something like that, you may also need different hands from what I've read about people upgrading from 21J to high beat movements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted April 2, 2016 Cousinsuk or ofrei depending on where you are. Rolie knows about these things though so maybe he has a link to some on the bay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,503 Posted April 3, 2016 Also toolbox2009 ebay shop has them at a good price. If you see the shop empty just replace .com with .co.uk and buy from the UK version of ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better to spend $30 for 21j. It is a very easy repair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off to look for a 2813. A quick glance it looks like nobody on eBay carries these 2813 movements stateside. Guess I'll have to get one from overseas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmartin245 0 Posted April 3, 2016 New dial and hands. Better to spend $30 for 21j. It is a very easy repair. Yeah. I agree. 21j suits me just fine and I dunno if a new hand set is worth the minute difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5teve 112 Posted April 3, 2016 Could this movement be swapped out for a quartz?I need a movement aswell for a cheap project and there's some really cheap quartz on eBay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 464 Posted April 3, 2016 Could this movement be swapped out for a quartz?I need a movement aswell for a cheap project and there's some really cheap quartz on eBay The hands would probably be the wrong size and the dial feet wouldn't be in e correct place. More trouble than it's worth... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenjaminButton 149 Posted April 3, 2016 I have a question. Would the date wheels be interchangeable on a dg2813. So in context - my faulty omega PO movement is now tinkered to death. So I want to replace the movement! Will the date wheel swap out with the one in the new movement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I want to replace the movement! Will the date wheel swap out with the one in the new movement? That was my first ever tinkering job. There's an old thread I wrote on it. In my case the DW was interchangeable. Having seen many more movements now, I'd say mostly yes but you might be unlucky. Go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
