    Just killing time...rendered with nXt.
    The inside of the bearing shouldn't be black I don't think.
    The needles are chrome and the rest of the metal is almost chrome.

    I did have the bounces doubled to 6 everything else is default except the resolution was 1600x1200 and it ran for about 5 hours.

    Just for grins try boosting the reflective bounces to 10 or so (I'd change the res temporarily to 300K pixels just to make the test go faster).  6 may not be enough to escape the inside of that bearing at the angle you're striking it.  If this doesn't work I'm interested in the model.

    It's possible this may also be doing it-- although I don't think so.  80% reflectivity  becomes 26% reflectivity after 6 bounces.  Still looks like we're stuck inside (or there's a bug)
