It would appear that the “regulating nut” you refer to is concentric with the screw that holds the balance clock in place. I wonder if the screw you are wondering about might have a pinion on the lower end that meshes with the teeth on the regulating nut? If so, then turning the screw adjusts the nut without having to remove the balance wheel and cock? That would be my guess. The calibre 3035 uses a single screw on the balance cock to allow for adjusting endshake. I don’t know why it wouldn’t work on this newer calibre.
