K911 movement. The alarm is not working unless I push down on the Lever (pointed with red arrow). There is resistance/elasticity in that lever hence its not sitting loose. Does anybody know these movements? Screenshot_20240619-215833.thumb.png.9b7e15c27d2a524969c700655eb15349.png

Yes the alarm crown winds and sets correctly as well as the alarm dial with the arrow moves. But the alarm doesnt ring when the arrow passes the hour hand.

Hi @Khan,

some more info would be helpful. Did it work before? Did you service it?

Have a look at the manual for the cal 916 (I'm about to finish working on one). I think the alarm system is very similar to yours.

To see more, you need to access it from the dial side and under the calendar works.

Here are a few key screenshots with highlights on the parts that are most likely your problem:

...and a picture of it assembled. You can see the "disconnector", which is the part you seem to be pushing down from the train side.

It should normally be released by the two special hour wheel and the unlocking wheel (both in the center).

It's been a while since I've looked at one of these but it sounds like the disconnect spring.

Have you got the dial off as you should get a better view from their.

I recently got it so dont know if it worked before and I haven't serviced it. I have only replaced a broken stem which was sources by K916 so yeah they must have similarities. Very interesting images and appreciate the help and images. I will get back soon with inspection of dial side and share a photo.

Good luck.

You can see my full disassembly here (and I'll post the assembly in the next couple of days):

Hi @Knebo

How do you get the alarm disc off?

Hey, you just gently pry it off (maybe from two sides at the same time, like with hand removing levers). There's nothing holding it in place except a little friction in the middle. It can be a bit stuck, but it'll come off.

      Diy rotary cleaning machine

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      To add to this unusual cleaning idea, there is another type of device whereby the internal spinning parts that move through the fluid are not physically connected to the motor.  The internal whisk is propelled via a magnetic connection, so no damaged gaskets due to solvent contamination.

      This is a method that Jon uses, and has posted a video of performing it somewhere .

      Etachron regulation system

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Did you watch the whole video? Once Alex has set the stud, he first corrects the best error, then checks that the hairspring coils are breathing concentrically, then turns the stud to centre the hairspring between the open regulator pins.  He then checks that the regulator can traverse the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring. A correction is needed, which he performs.  He then reinstalls the balance and re-centres the hairspring between the regulator pins, and verifies that the regulator traverses the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring.  Finally, he demonstrates how to close the gap between pins.  He then recaps the whole process, fleshing out more detail. If you follow this process, you have correctly set up the regulator pins, and are ready to set the rate of the watch.  If you are interested in learning more about the effects of the regulator pin spacing on positional rates etc, you can read any literature regarding regulator pins. The etachron system makes adjusting beat, centering the hairspring between the regulator pins and adjusting the gap between the pins very convenient, but the same rules that apply to old style regulator pins apply to the etachron system.  This video explains the basics :    I hope that helps, Mark

      Some photos of the angles you are talking about, and the changes you are seeing to coil spacing etc. would be really useful. Part of your problem could be that you are closing the pins too far and pinching the hairspring. Adjusting the pin separation should not affect amplitude. Nor should it change the coil separation.

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Did you try it on a Rolex ref. 16600 specifically? Congrats on the nice condition of the movement in your watch. Even so, remember to check the rotor play or those marks around the main plate may start to build up.
