Picking an Aqua Terra

Hey there. So I've been checking out the VSF Aqua Terra's with the clone 8900 movements and I'm looking for a bit of advice in which direction I should go. I like all of the color pallets, minus the black with green markings.

My questions would be which one is closest to gen, or are they all off in their own way. Also for the clone movement, does it need servicing like the rolex clone movements, or is it more stable.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I was also interested in these. Seems like black and white dials are great. The grey/blue combo off in certain lighting. I personally love the white dial with orange second hand.

If you are looking for closest to gen then white white dials, black are the safest bet. The grey has been discussed as having different date wheel colour, blues are slightly off in colour but still beautiful pieces.

The green is certainly growing on me. Might consider putting my Explorer 214270 up for sale for this.

What about the blue dial on the older model with the date at 3. Is the blue dial off on that model aswell?

Feedback is that the dial can have a slight purple tint but would only be noticed side by side with gen.
