However, in 2010, Mayer discovered the piece was not authentic after he sent it back to get it repaired.

TMZ claim that Mayer then returned the watch and was given credit to buy another.

He is said to have spent up to $5 million in total, on multiple watches from the dealer.

Way too much money for a watch! Even if I had the money I would not pay that for a watch. People are going hungry in the US. Geez.
