It's very nice. I believe that Gary and Bernd are correct that this is a Tank. And that would fit your date of your inscription in line w the Tank and Imperial releases. The Imperial Tank went on sale to the general public approximately June 1927. Perhaps this is an early Imperial Tank. I have definitely seen those hands before on an Imperial but usually accompanied by an enamel dial. Do you know the case maker? Gruen billed the Imperial Tank as "the manliest strap watch ever made."
