this could be useful if you have anything that you would like to be silver, movements, hands, even cases.
i did this old base metal watch for a buddy of mine, it was pretty worn, we wanted it to still look old, so i left most of the pits dents etc. took the watch all apart, cleaned the dial, polished and relumed the dial, and plated the case.
