No, that wafers do not move independent of the hole part. When pressure is adjusted, the whole base of the altimeter, including wafers, turn. Thus it changes the setting of the altitude. While the whole base is turning, the barometric pressure dial turns accordingly to show the correct pressure reading you are adjusting it to.

What is measured by an altimeter?

An altimeter does not actually measure altitude directly, but rather just atmospheric pressure. So an altimeter is actually a barometer created for a specific purpose. See related link The altimeter measures the height above the ground and has a pointer which is adjustable depending in which air field you are taking off on. it measures the pressure of the air as you get higher off the ground the pressure reduces therefore it is able to determine your height above ground.
