 There was this Bing cashback deal going on during the last week or so and I ended up picking up a Hamilton Sunset for $230 (assuming the cashback arrives in 2 months).

It's a gimmicky watch for sure, with the not too useful Sunset bezel (which doubles as a 3rd time zone tracker) and the elaborate crown guard that kind of hinders crown adjustment for me, but it looks pretty cool and is well made.  It has a ETA 2893 movement and it hand-winds so smoothly I can hardly feel any resistance. 

It's big at 45mm excluding crowns, and the crown guard and large crowns make it look even bigger.  But it doens't sit super high like a Benarus Sea Devil, and I think I can manage it on my 6.5" wrist.
