Watch comparison question

I want a Hamilton pilots watch, or so I think, and posted something about them the other day and got nothing but favorable responses.  How would it compare to the Bell and Ross BR92-123 that I currently own, and also to the IWC pilots watch which I am considering.  Both the B&R and IWC cost considerably more than the Hamilton, am I gaining anything by going with the IWC or having the B&R already?  We all know the watch industry is full of smoke and mirrors and in this scenario I see that.  My Bell & Ross is really nothing special, ETA movement, no screw down crown and no winding clutch, If I remember correctly it was $3300, and in my opinion probably a bit over priced. I guess I am asking where the Hamilton fits in.  The IWC runs about $4000 and I don't see anything really special about it either.
