Toothpaste will do what it does to your teeth...polish it, as most have abrasives in them. If you have a brushed finish, you may not want to do this...

If it is brushed, then the "fix" is to not remove any more metal than necessary, but to realign the grain of the metal to disguise those scratches.

Depends on the bracelet...some have the two lines of polished mini-links running the length..

I have a refinishing how-to for a Rolex bracelet using the 3m Scotch Brite pad over in our Reference Library under The Amateur Watchmakers Corner..

To do the same on the Omega, use electrical tape and tape along the inside length of the polished links on both sides, then brush the center. Retape all the way across one side and the center to the other side of the far polished link and do that outside edge.. then retape over to the last remaing edge...

It's best to do this with the bracelet off the watch and laying flat..
