AceShowbiz - John Mayer dismissed fake Rolex watches lawsuit against watch dealer Bob Maron. Addressing the watch dealer as "an expert on Rolex watches," the singer-songwriter confirmed in a joint statement that the watch dealer never sold him a fake watch.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit stemmed from an occurrence back in 2007 when Mayer bought more than $600,000 worth of Rolex watches from Maron. The Grammy winner believed that Maron intentionally sold him the Rolex which allegedly had counterfeit parts. Mayer also accused Maron of defrauding him when he sold him the expensive watch collection.
However, now Mayer admitted that he was wrong about the assumably fake Rolex and dropped the suit without ever taking it to court. "Two years of research restored John Mayer's belief that Bob Maron is an expert on Rolex watches, and confirmed that Bob Maron never sold him a counterfeit watch," they said in the joint statement on Thursday, May 21.
According to Charlie Sheen, a close friend of Maron, the suit was actually an act of revenge. Mayer reportedly got angry after Sheen replaced him on the June 2012 cover of Rolling Stone, which reportedly Maron pushed for. "This d*****bag tried to bump my Rolling Stone cover and screwed Bob in the process and went behind both our backs," Sheen said previously. "This ain't about watches."
