DG2813 repair or replace?

Hi all, first post in here.  I have a Rolly Replica with a DG2813 in it.  It was stopping every minute or so even when fully wound so I tried to take a look and the balance wheel was what was stopping.  While trying to fix it i fubar'd the hair spring.  Should I just replace the movement or replace the part?  Maybe I should take it into an actual watchmaker, do they typically frown upon repairing replicas?

You can get a new DG2813 - an actual clean, good quality 2813 movement for less than $30.  The dirty, cheap versions that come in reps are not as good quality, from what I have read on the forums. After replacing the movement with a new one, it should actually run better and quieter than it did when you first received the watch!

What's wrong ? If you need to take the bridge off forget about getting it back on !!!

Oh it is not that tricky :)

Did it already 4/5 times.

There is a little secret to know, than it's doable.

The secret is to turn the click triangle 110 degrees so that it doesn't push against the gears. Then mount the bridge, then dotate back the click with a needle before to put back the balance wheel and bridge ;)
