Best practices for beach vacation (aka bracelet vs nato straps)

[HerbStempel3186]

I'm hoping the wise and experienced sages can help with questions regarding safest practices for keeping my Rolex sports watch tanlines while on our yearly vacation to Cape Cod. Trying not to have this devolve into yet another edition of "is it safe...?" replete with trolling and eye rolling. So please be gentle and let's cut to the chase:

Nothing too heavy duty lies in store, but I want to take my one-week-old LVc and three-month-old BLNR to the Cape, where my family and I will basically be at the beach for 3 consecutive weeks for surfing, body boarding and SUP boarding. I'm inclined to leave my watches on their respective brushed and PCL bracelets while going in the water, but I thought about bringing along my Bergeon tweezers and bag-o-nato-straps for a changeup.

Which method is less likely to result in a springbar failure that is tantamount to a $9K charitable donation to the bottom of the sea? My take on it is, if it ain't broke, no need to fuss with the issue, so it seems to me there shouldn't be a problem leaving the bracelets on. I tested the bracelet method at the Jersey shore the last several weeks and had no issues. The waves I'll be in are likely to be more rugged at the Cape, but of course not to the level of Point Break.

On the other hand, I've always appreciated the nato strap for the extra security offered should one of the springbars fail. Something still feels uncertain given what seems to me to be the relatively easier wiggling I can make happen at the springbar location with a nato on as compared to the oyster bracelets, which have no movement at all. I haven't tried it quite yet, but I imagine I could torque a nato strap hard enough to yank it off axis and remove it from the lugs, whereas torqueing a seated oyster bracelet won't really do anything since there is such a tight tolerance and a full occupation of the lug area with a very solid material.

I was close to ordering a rubber Benetto Cinturini nato from Gecko, but am holding off for now, since I'm not even sure it would arrive before our departure this Saturday. I imagine there would be no real significant difference in risk between my existing collection of el cheapo natos from NATOZULU.com versus the Cadillac nato offered by Benetto. Is this a fair assumption?

Perhaps both methods are truly safe enough (Robert Frost was known to mock readers for overinterpreting The Road Not Taken, silently enjoying how human beings tried so hard to find the perfect and fully optimized choice when choices often don't really make much difference). I'm really inviting folks to tell me horror stories from either or both methods so I can dismiss my neuroticism once and for all or have the epiphany that I should leave the watches at the beach house while we hang at the beach. But then how will I snap picks of the green sunburst dial in the sun??!

Thanks for any help you chaps are willing to offer!
