Hamiltons are definitely nice value watches. Lots of people use them for their dailies.
I have started going the route of building my own watches. You can find the ETA 2824 and 2892 movements for a good price on Ebay, then you can snag blank dials and cases for fairly cheap as well.
Here's one I did with a ETA 2892-2 movement and a Sub-like case with sapphire crystal and high intensity lume. All said and done, cost just at $250 w/ ss bracelet with a high quality clasp and solid endlinks. Currently working on a Heritage Black Bay Homage watch with a 2892-2 movement in it as well, and I have a Seamaster Pro Homage that I did with a 2824 in it. They make nice dailies so I dont have to damage their more expensive siblings.
