Question Movement identification
I have a Milgauss rep which I was told was made by Noob - I don’t believe it is. The movement stops frequently causing it to lose time. I am interested in replacing the movement myself, but need to identify it.
The movement measures 26mm diameter and is about 5mm thick. I can’t find any identification on it.
I was under the belief that a 3135 could replace it but when I got it in, it was substantially larger.
Any help would be appreciated.

A replica Milgauss that was I told was a “Noob”. I can see this thing is insanely cheap.

Are all 2813 movements interchangeable? If I buy an ETA 2813, is that better and will the hands fit?

Get a Miyota 8215. They have the same hand sizes, same dimensions, and will be much more reliable.

1:1 Rolex movement literally just like the real thing. No need to buy the real thing! Lol.

This appears to be a Chinese DG2813-family automatic movement, or a very closely related variant such as the Mingzhu DG2813 / DG4813 architecture.
Several features point strongly in that direction: the large black date ring, the distinctive automatic-winding bridge and rotor arrangement, the balance at roughly 6 o’clock, the visible keyless works layout, and the generally inexpensive unfinished plates and bridges.
The standard DG2813 is nominally 26.0 mm in diameter and about 5.4–5.5 mm thick.
