A Singapore website reported this week General Moeldoko was wearing a watch from the Richard Mille brand's Felipe Massa collection worth more than $100,000 during a recent interview.
However the general, who goes by one name, angrily hurled the watch to the ground when confronted by reporters about the claims, insisting he would not have done so if it was genuine.
"Just watch me, so you know I am not lying," he was quoted as saying in local media before throwing the timepiece onto the floor.
