OK, well I think I tried that but I don't know how well that worked with my situation seeing as I was working with the clock mechanism that had the hands completely removed from the clock dial so when I ran the clock mechanism backwards to latch it into the alarm triggering mechanism I couldn't tell where the hands were or should of been, so like I said I kind of guessed on mine in reference to where I had previously had the alarm set to but I'm thinking that the guess wasn't very accurate or at least the way I positioned the hands wasn't very accurate (especially the alarm set disc in reference to the alarm pointer on the back side of the hour hand).
