Tbh mate, you would be better served selling the one you have got and putting the money towards a new rep with the movement you want. There are so many things you have to consider with a movement swap. New hands (the old ones won’t fit), stem height may be different (so won’t sit in the tube properly. Dial feet are in the wrong position. Datewheel overlay needed. The list goes on...

Out of interest, what's your issue with the 2813 movement?

Fair do's, if you notice the low beat, it is a pain.

GLWS (if it comes to it) then.

Good luck with sale - if you follow Fox's sage advice.
