Thanks for all the comments, guys!
Sorry for the late reply, we were out of town yesterday for a neice's 5th birthday party and got home late.
I used crushed one tiny liver of sulfur rock into a damp waschcloth then rubbed it all over the watch. Neutralized with baking soda, gently buffed with a rouge cloth.
IMO the bright gold-tone of the raw bronze didn't let the dial really shine; I think the contrast is much better now.
Oh yeah, the strap is from a 1945 Swiss ammunition pouch. I do have enough to make a few more, but the coloration varies.
