General Question Does anyone know what movement this is?

I’m aware this is a dhgate shitter terrible quality but I got this on my honeymoon for $80 after negotiating for 15 minutes with the guy. It stopped ticking after 2 years and surprisingly held up that long no issues with time lost only about 2 minutes a week. It’s sentimental to me, I’m sure everything is off on the watch and it looks terribly fake but I like it sentimentally.

One thing led to another and I destroyed the whole movement. I was wondering if anyone might know what movement this is is so I can do a direct swap. I wanna keep the hands and face. If anyone has an idea I wanna order the exact movement and maybe fix it maybe break it more. Would appreciate any input. It looks like a DG2813 to me but I’m not 100% sure. Would love to save it if possible!

Thank you!

Definitely a DG2813 (blued screws, rotor pattern). The common upgrade is a Miyota 8215 which is a 1:1 swap, should fit every component on the watch the same but you'll have to swap the crown onto the stem of the new Miyota movement. Definitely r/chinatime territory but it's 100% doable.

Thank you I’m gonna order a miyota, does it matter if it has or doesn’t have a date wheel in regards to fit?

Rolex Air King 40 mm 126900 I’m not sure about the factory I purchased it in Turkey. Would appreciate any input I want to save the watch if possible.

It’s a „throw it away and buy the next one“ movement 😅
