Debenhams' £500 watch similar to £22,000 Rolex slashed by 86% to £68 in Blue Cross Sale

Debenhams has slashed the price of a £500 watch that could easily be mistaken for a far pricier Rolex model at first glance. The rose gold Stührling watch, which is studded with crystal markers, has seen an eye-watering discount of 86% - the largest to date.

Back in August, the Stührling Original 31mm Rose Gold Lineage Ladies Quartz 31mm Watch With Crystal Markers, which is normally £475, had originally been slashed with a massive 84% discount, costing £74.99. Now it's been slashed even more, and is 86% off - meaning it's an even more favourable price of £67.99, and the cheapest we've seen it to date.

The now under £68 Stührling Original Rose Gold Lineage Watch looks strikingly similar to a far more expensive Rolex watch. If you were to opt for the Datejust 31mm Stainless Steel and Rose Gold Diamond Oyster Watch from the high-end brand, it would set you back a cool £22,000, which I'm sure is out of budget for the majority of us.

Both watches share a similar rose gold and silver colourway, complete with a jewelled bezel and an oyster-coloured watch face. Debenhams' £68 version has been crafted with an ultra-thin profile with obelisk-style hands and crystal markers. The Miyota 2115 Japanese quartz movement keeps the Lineage ticking on time and the 16mm link bracelet is made from stainless steel for sharp looks and supreme comfort.

The Rose Gold Lineage Ladies Quartz 31mm Watch With Crystal Markers has earned overwhelmingly positive reviews. One shopper said: "Very pleased with my watch, it looks stunning. Best looking watch I’ve ever had."

A second wrote: "Lovely gift for my 50th birthday. A special buy, a great price with the blue cross sale. It will be something I will wear for every outing."

A third penned: "Beautiful watch. Stunning watch, fantastic price. Our daughter-in-law loved it." Somebody else mentioned: "Bought as a Christmas Gift. I hope that she is impressed, as I am, with this lovely watch."

However, one person said the Rose Gold Lineage Ladies Quartz 31mm Watch With Crystal Markers was 'too large' and gave it a one-star review. They said: "It was big and couldn't make smaller. It is not working that well." But another person loved their latest jewellery purchase, simply writing: "Very stylish and high quality. I'm glad I bought it."

Also worth taking a look at on the Debenhams website is the Gold Lineage Ladies Quartz 31mm Watch With Crystal Markers. It is on sale for £67.49 down from £475, offering a whopping total saving of 86% or £407.51.

The sleek watch features an ultra-thin profile with a jewelled bezel that perfectly frames the obelisk-style hands and crystal markers. The two-toned gold and silver band and watch face is reminiscent of the £7,410 Black Bay 36 S&G Automatic Watch from Tudor, but at a fraction of the cost.

Elsewhere, shoppers can save 50% on the Michael Kors Lennox Pavé Logo Rose Gold-Tone Watch. It has a full RRP of £279 but it's currently on sale for £139, for a limited time. On Amazon, the Tommy Hilfiger Silver Analogue Quartz Watch is on sale for £90 down from £129.
