In my case, no, it is never far smile

The song Stargazer by Rainbow is one of my absolute favorite Dio creations.  And every time I grab the Starwheel, this song starts rolling in my head.  That is a good thing for me.  Here are a few new snaps showing the dial move into sunlight.

I think that dial needs to be witnessed firsthand to be truly appreciated....

I just love everything about it. Even the seconds hand, which at first I was impartial to, I really enjoy now.

I can appreciate the history of the star wheel comp in AP's catalog. The original and the new presentation in the 1159 are both lovely in their own regard. I think that they are both "very AP", and both done well for their times. That being said, having owned both a Gorilla Drift and Urwerk 100. The star wheel is a fleeting fancy for me. I like them, but really need to be in the mood to wear.

Emotive indeed. I admire some of the Urwerks. Visually stimulating pieces.
