Hi, Is there some kind of was or cream that makes the steel look like real gold ?
I mean the difference between my watch and a rel one is mostly on the way the gold shines, it does not look like gold ( rose gold to be exact).
second question, is there a coating I can put on my glass, to make it anti reflective ? Thank you.

welcome to rwi. if you could post some pictures of the watch it would be helpful. do you know if it is plated or pvd? i have had both in the past. i use a cape cod cloth for heavy polishing and a jeweler's polishing cloth for normal light tarnish or marks.

hope this helps and enjoy the forum,

For the rose gold you can try fresh bull semen. The main problem is trying to get it from the tap. :whistle::lolcina:

To get a really nice gold colour and shine that will last a lot longer than a rep plating, you can get your watch professionally replated. I have done it a few times and the outcome is outstanding. Quite affordable, and there are plenty of companies providing the service.
