Remove corrosion from stainless steel watch

"silverguy"

Dear bros



I have an old Boctok Komandirskie russian watch at since 1990s. It was bought at a make shift shop when I first collected my first pay. Recently, I found at one of my drawers and the watch case become rusty. Because of my itchy hand, I used a very fine file to file away the rust. It did not turn out well but leave a golden bronze layer on the casing. This watch is not expensive but it meant alot to me.



Any expert advise to remove the corrosion??



Appreciate your help. Ps : the top right hand corner is the corrosion.

Kommandirskie is chromed, only amphibians has SS case but bezel are still chromed. Leave it as it is ba. Re plating probably cost more than your watch.
