Timeshops GMTIIc TT

I am not familiar with timeshops & without knowing which factory makes their watches, your question may provide a more useful response if directed solely at those who own the same watch. In general, flashed (or whatever marketing spin the rep seller wants to use) gold tends not to be very long-lived. The only sure-fire way to keeping the gold looking like gold (as opposed to its underlying base metal) is to keep the watch clean & in a case (never worn).

I think it's fantastic .. the two issues with *all* Noobfactory GMT .. the bezel detentes feel like they could be a lot more "precise" and unfortunately the ETA and ETA clone movement GMT "hack" can wear out rather quickly and cause the GMT hand to slip.

Good thing you have the a21j version, which does not have this problem.

To fix the ETA/Clone issue, the best course of action is to buy a real ETA GMT movement and swap it in.

Polishing removes the surface layer of the metal. Depending how deep that layer is & how much you remove, you may or may not reveal the underlying base metal. Unfortunately, with rep watches, there is no way to tell, before hand, whether polishing will damage the watch. This is 1 of the reasons it is best to avoid gold & two-toned reps.
