before omega had their Co-Axial movements, most movements were very easy to adjust by just turning a screw or moving a lever.
With the Co-Axials regulation is done by turning 2 screws on the balancewheel(at least that is what i think)
so it looks like they use this to both balance it and regulate it at the same time.
There is nothing wrong with a perfectly balanced balancewheel but why did omega not use a second screw for adjusting.
so balancing the wheel for accuracy and an extra screw for timing the movement.
this would make it much easier to regulate for a less skilled person(eg myself)
if you look at this movement from A. lange you notice the balancewheel can be adjusted very precise but adjustimg the timing is done with an ordinary screw, just like the classic omega movements.
