Post a picture, members will be able to assist you better, if it's minor a scotch bright would get rid of it, depends if the area is polished etc.

Try a fiberglass pen, preferably from Bergeon.

Depends on the magnitude of the scratch and the finish of your watch. I have used fine grit sandpaper successfully for fine scratches, some polishing compound for larger ones and even a dremel and polishing wheel for disatrous ones.

 

The key is to be careful and consistent in your method. I'd suggest trialing your technique on a saucepan handle first if you are are afraid of doing more damage than good. Just don't pick the wifes favourite saucepan like i did.

Garryflex should match the brushed effect and at least dull a deep scratch down!

Can't you at least start with an angle grinder?

 

Only if it's a Hublot

Fine grit paper here too. Nr 800, not finer or you'll polish it. And go in the direction of the machining tool
