What seems to happen is that scratches initially show up bright, but over time the metal oxidises and they become almost invisible.

I scratched the bracelet on my Pelagos, and initially polished it out with an ink eraser. That made it about 80% better, but over a couple of months it became invisible.

Having done what you have, I’d just leave it now. I suspect it will look near perfect over time!
yes, i'm pretty happy how it turns out
