If the scratches are on the matte portion of the link they are extremely easy to fix. Tape off the polished links with Scotch tape and lightly rub the scratched portion of the link with ultra-fine Scotch-Brite (the grey color works best but Green will do in a pinch)

In moments the scratches on the matte surface will blend away.

This works great on stainless 1911 pistols too but thats another topic :)
