Minor scuffs are a expected part of wearing a metal watch bracelet. So it is best to consider a certain amount of that normal and not drive yorself bonkers trying to keep the clasp looking pristine. But I must admit that the brushed finish on the SMP clasp does seem to call attention to scuffs and scratches more than a polished finish does.
THe *safest* solution is to take it to the jeweler and have them clean it up for you. They certainly ought to do that if the watch came that way from in-store handling!
There are home remedies, but must be used with care. The SMP uses both polished and matte finishes on various facets of the case and bracelet and what it appropriate for one will ruin the other.
If you use the SEARCH feature on this forum, this has been discussed fairly recently and I remember there were several good suggestions of tools and materials for a finish touch-up.
