The best Black Friday deals are renowned for bringing big ticket items down to crazy low prices. That's something which we see all the time, with everything from big TVs and air fryers to clothes and home essentials.

Right now, Walmart has one of the best Black Friday deals I've ever seen – and it's on a watch! It's not just any old watch, though – this deal sees the cost of a diamond-set Rolex Datejust slashed by over $13,500 – meaning you can snag it for just $6,850!

Bag a Rolex Datejust for just 1/3 of the original price. That's an unbelievable saving for a classy watch from the Rolex back catalogue.

That's a killer deal. The Rolex Datejust is a timeless model, and it has earned that status for a good reason. It's the iconic office watch – perfect for quickly and simply telling the time and reading the date, with no frills attached.

This model is just about as luxurious as it gets, though, with additional diamonds set into the indices and the bezel. That lends a really special edge to this piece, which elevates it above the rest. It's worth noting that those aren't the original pieces, but rather have been customised to add something special to this piece.

Those are nestled into and around a stark black dial, which is deep, alluring and perfect for matching with just about anything. You'll snag a two-tone bracelet, too, fusing steel and yellow gold in a timeless manner.

Cheap Rolex Datejust alternative

Okay, but what if the sub-$7k price tag is still a little out of budget? Well fear not – I've found an even more affordable alternative which suits that vibe!

This Citizen Eco-Drive model may not have the raw sex appeal of a Rolex, but it certainly fits the bill on a trimmer budget. The Eco-Drive technology ensures you'll never need a battery, either, saving you even more in the long run.

Right now, you can pick that up for just $229.71 – that's a saving of over $165! It's a bargain price for those who need something a little more wallet-friendly.
