That's the thing. Tungsten carbide is not a metal. And I doubt your watch/whatever is made of it. It would be quite useless actually. Like all very hard materials (diamond for instance), WC2 is easily chipped if hit and non repairable. I doubt you can polish it at all, let alone to mirror finish. Perhaps it's worth checking with your jeweller again to see what part if any in your watch is tungsten carbide.
