Your pic doesn't seem to work (there isn't a 'view picture' option when I right click (the 'show picture' option doesn't work either), but if the scratches are on the bracelet, you can use some Scotch-Brite pads to do the trick. But be careful and only stroke in one direction, avioding the polished areas if there are any. You have to know what you are doing.
Steve Waddington posted a link to a great tutorial.

Below is the actual link to the tutorial (it is the same exact one that he included in his post). Just scroll all the way to the top. Be aware that this method is a total makeover of the whole bracelet and clasp, and I wouldn't do it if the scratches are few in number....
