Still not sure what way is best to render this so it looks a little awkward.
I used the Colefax clock modifier for the start delay and I probably
shouldn't. The disk rotation is confusing this way. Although it does loop,
it isn't pretty in WMP if the player doesn't get complete control.

Hope you'll enjoy it anyhow. Took 3 hours 18 minutes to render at this
resolution and 150 frames, which could have been faster were it not for the
camera focal blur. I thought it gave it a sense of slow motion without
having to use MegaPOV 0.7 object blurring. Oh, and if anyone is going to ask
how the alignments of the rings were done... it was haphazard guesswork and
more time than I figured on. Might be better explained by seeing the script
itself so I'm willing to post it if asked.

Wow :) Ultra realistic... both visually and dynamically. I'm truly 
impressed :-o

Show us more stuff! :)

Motion is neat, but wow, you really nailed the lighting and reflection.
Excellent job.

Thanks! Will try to. Posting an armillary right now anyway.

Thanks Skip, nothing to it really. No radiosity, no HDRI.  :-)  Script
follows:

  finish {
   ambient 0 diffuse 0.2 specular 0.5 roughness 0.01
   metallic brilliance 4#if(Rad=yes)*1#else/1.5#end
   reflection {0.0,0.3 metallic exponent 0.7}
   conserve_energy
  }

The thing that probably helps it most is that I used high values of color in
the pigment, rgb < 5, 5.5, 6 > while the diffuse is kept low but not to
zero. Also note the rarely used reflection 'exponent'.

Thanks Dan, the basic script for texture is in my reply to Skip.

Beautifully done. Wasn't a gyroscope meant to stand still while the
world turned around it, in stead of the other way around though?

Thank you...

Oh heck. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Guess I had been preoccupied with
that nice material for the metal. Ha ha.

Well, it'll have to wait until tomorrow before I try it with the disk
motionless while all else spins. Hmm. Except I better keep the background
image still too, or it'd be like it's moving again.

Anyhow, updated-- and probably preferrable over the original-- this one
doesn't have any of the clock modifier variables trying to accelerate and
decelerate the gyroscope. So it isn't as unlooped-looking as before.
