    Can anybody figure out if there is a photo anywhere or any indication of how much ice the watch is encased in?

    Also worth bearing in mind, the prize is only given away if somebody guesses the correct time:
    THE WINNER WILL BE DRAWN AT RANDOM FOR ALL THE CORRECT ENTRIES. SHOULD THERE BE NO CORRECT ANSWER AND THEREFORE NO WINNER, THE PROMOTER WILL OFFER A RUNNER UP PRIZE OF A LUXURY WATCH TRAVEL CASE TO THE PERSON WHO HAS GUESSED AN AMOUNT CLOSEST TO THE CORRECT TIME.

    The photo is on Instagram but I don't think I can post links. 'chronohunter' is the username. I wondered what the heck they were on about when I clicked through to the competition this morning!

    No one’s going to win a Rolex; the prize is a “luxury” watch travel case

    Not how I read it. Looks as though you could win the watch if you guess the exact time. Otherwise, the nearest gets the watch case.......
    Still cracking on....

    The exact time to the nearest second.. If it was geuine they would offer the wristwatch to the nearest guess, I think that's the giveaway.
