To clarify, water does not use SSR, one of the Roblox employees stated that they use some tricks to mimic SSR in water, but it is not SSR.

Water reflections are almost fake - they are just a clever reprojection of what you see in your main camera. This sort of works for water because the water is mostly horizontal and really only reflects at very acute angles (clicky) . Furthermore, wave distortion kinda hides the details, so it’s not immediately obvious where the reflection ends.

For parts, that’s going to look very strange, e.g. you look at the part up front, but you don’t see any reflections, because the incident rays originate from behind the view, i.e. not currently visible.
