I have an Aurora 18s watch with a regulator I have never seen before. It is most interesting as I cannot figure out how to adjust it beyond a millimeter or so.

Please comment...

If it helps, this is the whole movement of the "X" Watch.

It looks like there is a coarse adjustment which is done by moving the arm into the next grove from the one it is in. Then a fine adjustment which would be by way of the screw which tilts the quadrent itself. Pretty neat.
