I've never treated myself to a watch, so....
Discussion
Of the original watches mentioned, you should try them on if being dainty of wrist is a concern. The Tag particularly is a big watch!
Personally, the Omegas are likely to have more credence with watch afficianados. But only marginally so these days.
If you want cool but that only people who like this sort of stuff "understand", for similar (but slightly more) money look at IWC or Zenith (though Zenith's latest stuff is a bit crass in the main IMO). Great engineering and quality, hold value well and not every man and his space monkey has one.

i have the seamaster chrono and somewhere round my bedroom is a well used zenith, of which i can remember getting as a birthday prezzie about 10 years ago, it was bullet proof, I don't know if this is still the case but in the back of some 'lads' mags you used be able to buy a zenith for not much more than a hundred sovs or so with a special offer price.
like I said a cracking watch but the only problem was not having the same screen of a rolex or omega is that you could scratch it. The omega has been climbed and dived and worked in and has no facial scratches whatsoever.
edited to say zeitner not zenith sorry !!!!

Being a scrawny wretch myself I've looked at IWC and they all seem pretty big to me. Rolex do some mid-size watches which might be worth trying.

I've got a mid sized Omega Seamaster that looks just right
I've got little wrists too, had to sell my full sized TAG because it ended up spending more time on my desk than on my wrist and I was afraid of losing it. I've now got one of their mid-sized watches which I really love and won't ever let go, although it does seem to emphasize my small wrists.
On a daily basis though, I wear one of these..
Alright, it doesn't have the snob factor of the TAG, but if I lost it I'd replace it in a heartbeat, I love it that much.
The titanium version weighs nothing and isn't massive. And look at its spec. Yes, the compass and altimeter really do work. Although you can't find out how high you're flying in a jet because of the cabin pressure LOL
Bloody marvellous piece of technology. I'm amazed we aren't all wearing one.
