    Rubber. Bracelets hate sand and Nato's expand when wet and collect suncream.

    Bracelet. Rubber = sweaty, itchy wrists.

    Bracelet. Rubber will be sweaty. Nato will become smelly.

    I've just come back. A week in the sun with an old Sub on bracelet.

    Took a few Nato's for a change. They stated in the case.

    Rubber. Just back from a short break, wore a GGB but rubber would be completely worry free.

    Two or three natos, as long as you're not worried about marking the cashback with sand rash
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    I wish you a pleasant time.
    BTW, rubber for the water activities, mesh for the evening.

    Bracelet would suit more occasions, and looks better regardless IMHO

    Depends what you're doing. I wore my SMP on a bracelet for a European holiday in January and it was perfect - no worries. But if I were going diving in the Bahamas, I'd probably put it on a NATO, with shoulder-less spring bars, so that I could be confident that if one bar failed I shouldn't lose the watch.

    Bracelet. Rubber hot, sweaty and smelly. NATO wet and smelly.

    Well...... It's on the bracelet.

    At last a chance to get some non-desk-diving marks on the bracelet!

    My 82 is on the Seiko ratchet bracelet and allows for those times requiring adjustment due to sweltering temperatures :-).

    I'm gong to Majorca this weekend, and I'll be wearing a Grand Seiko GMT, - on a bracelet.

    Good call

    on the bracelet. The only rubber that works for me is a highly vented one. Found a tropic one that was all mesh-like. Havent had a watch that lasted on nato or leather... Nato gets too flashy and the leather starts smelling...
