Ok, so it says Seamaster DeVille, and the movement shows 670, but this thing is tiny! Can anyone tell me if this is a pocket watch or something? What case would I use on it? Crown? I purchased it thinking it was a full size watch. It's gorgeous regardless but so small! Is it a woman's watch?

The movement is typically a ladies watch. It was however used in a number of smaller gent's watches with larger dials. Usually square or rectangular. These are now refered to as unisex watches as they are often less than 30mm.

This is actually a great movement, about 18mm. Usually one finds the 681 which have date or the 620 which does not have a sweep. The build quality is similar to the 55x series. The bridges stack making the movement a lot thicker.

Not the smallest automatic. There are a few smaller 660 comes to mind.

As usual cases for these can be hard to come by. Many were scrapped for the gold content. A lot of ladies watches were gifted and worn only once. Styles changed quickly.
