While not identical, Next's £42 watch looks like Cartier without £8,000 price tag

If you've ever found yourself dreaming of flashing a Cartier watch on your wrist but don't have thousands of pounds to stump up on the timepiece, you're in luck.

While not 100% identical, the watches share the same two-tone strap design with a square watch face. It also has gold watch hands and Roman numeral time indicators.

It features a two-tone mixed metal design with both gold and silver details, as well as a stainless steel bracelet and Roman numerals dotted around the outside. It also goes one step above the Cartier version, with diamonds set all around the outside of the dial, adding an extra luxurious
