Looks like a 2836 clone  ...

Hmmm, it's either a 2824 or 2836 clone. Usually impossible to differentiate by sight, but the giveaway is the date change. Important as I think they have different stem heights etc,

2836 - go round with the timeset extremely slowly to midnight. It will flick over instantly to the next date without any creep
2824 - go round with the timeset extremely slowly to midnight. It will start to creep to about quarter to halfway to the next date then flick over.

It has an adjuster - just tweak it to run faster.

That screw inside the V fork by the balance wheel is the adjuster. Just turn it clockwise ever so slightly towards + and test it on the free "Watch Accuracy App" downloaded to your phone from the Play Store. It'll tell you how it's running.
What's the worst that can happen, if you're thinking of buying a new movement, anyway?

I think to be honest I've knackered the keyless movement the stem is seized after I removed it I was tinkering to see if there was a issue pull the stem out for a look and it won't move anything  now(yes I'm a twat I know I should have just left it and got watch Smith to sort it )

OK, if you want a guaranteed good quality one, go to Cousins UK, and get one of theirs. You pay a little more, but it won't be an Ali Express gamble and you'll have some comeback.

That requires a strip down and rebuilding of the keyless works. Don't be embarrassed, for I have made the same mistake in the past. If the movement is total garbage with other issues, you can find clone 2836s (and 2824s) on eBay all day long. If it is a good rep that you care about, you can also source new 2836s (and 2824s) of all grades on eBay direct from Switzerland. You could call up your local watchamker and ask for a quote on the movement. Service may be cheaper than replacing. Don't toss the movement. You may need the datewheel from the movement, because the stock datewheel on a new movement may not fit the date cutout on the dial.

Be a man about it. If you think the movement is screwed, follow this for the rebuilding and removal of the keyless. Its not rocket science. Just very small parts that like to fly into unobtainable places!

And, realistically, how many people on this forum do you think will even consider having a go at that, even with a video tutorial?

What have you got to lose? If you reckon the movement is screwed anyway. No one comes out the womb knowing how to fix a keyless issue!
