Repairing scratches on RO bracelet - pics

I’m considering buying a Royal Oak 15400 and the bracelet seems to not be in good shape, but the price of the watch is decent. Here is a photo of it, can you guys tell me how these scratches could be repaired without having to have the entire watch polished? What can be done here?

When/If you send it to APSC in Clearwater, before services you have an option on their form to request polishing only the bracelet.
Good luck.

Only AP can polish the bracelet. Don't take it to anyone else. Too much going on, it has to be taken apart and every link done by hand.

Agree. Wouldn’t trust anyone to polish if it’s not at AP.

Honestly, that picture is a close-up. I bet the scratches are not that bad. The RO bracelets are prone to scratches.

I would just wear it and consider a polish after some time during a regular servicing interval.
