I've finally worked out the true meaning of Three Body Problem!

I wasn't sure after the first episode, but it became clear as the series progressed:

Have a good weekend

Thank you, that seems like a smart idea. The watch looks great :applouse:

That looks excellent!

I'm curious how people account for thermal expansion. Sinn have that membrane thing behind the caseback (Thanks Crusader...)
