: rinse it immediately in freashwater?

Yes, that's all you need to do.

: Is it OK, if I let it dry salty?

No.

: What are the risks?

Salt drying on the case will increase eventual corrosion of the steel.

Also, make sure it has been recently pressure tested for water resistance. WR is not a permanent condition, as it depends on the age and condition of the seals. For more info, see the article on Water Resistance in the OWNER'S ZONE here on Chronocentric.
