bracelet marks from daily wear

My GMT Master II has become my daily watch since I bought it from another forum member. I remove it or switch to my trusty SKX007 (rubber strap) for more intense activities. However, it has picked up small hairline scratches or marks on the band from normal use. Is there any way to lightly polish these out occasionally? They are very, very light. More like rub marks. Just wondering. Case, crystal, and bezel are of course flawless.

I use a green scotchbrite pad to start, then finnish up with a grey scotchbrite.

I say leave it alone and don't obsess. If you want when you get it serviced you can have it polished. I consider them character marks and they continents me!

I assume you are talking about a brushed bracelet, and not one that is highly polished. I use the green Scotch-Bright pad. If that gets the surface a bit too dull, then I go over it with some Nevr-Dull.
