sell as gold
Can you say this is correct?
Does this make sense? Is it correct to say 'sell it as gold'?
You can't sell the watch dial as gold even though its made mostly of gold as it isn't solid pure gold. There is no point in weighing it.
Thank you

You are trying to cram too much into the first sentence. Say eg You can't sell the watch dial as gold. Even though it's made mostly of gold,it isn't solid, pure gold.
