Worked fine on my mom's gold ring and my sisters white gold Chopard watch, no worries.

Yes Altair is right - it will be fine on a TT Submariner. Obviously they are very VERY slightly abrasivie, so I'd go a little careful on gold plate items, but a Rolex (with solid golds links) will be fine.

Just a word of caution though - only use them on polished surfaces, NOT brushed finished areas!

I'm thinking about buying some of these cloths. Will this remove the tiny swirl type scratches? I usually use a Dremel tool and a Dremel polish. I used to use Brasso but their new formula sucks. It seems my B-Ling picks up light swirls using my Dremel unlike my Fortis and Submariner. It's harder to keep it looking unworn like my others.

Yeah, they are great for swirlies. Dremel is overdoing it and removes too much material for regular polishing.
