in my opinion 10mm is the biggest id wear for a chain, but u already got the big ass bracelet so 12 might look dope on u, love the vids, love the pieces🙏
Las Villas was the first place i was recommended to order my cuban and they didn’t disappoint i ordered a 10mm and i need it bigger i will upgrade mine before my birthday love them the customer service also on point
Congrats, nice piece. I bought my 11mm bracelet from Las Villas about a year ago. Was a smooth process, and they kept me updated. May get another one to stack them.
Interestingly, I picked up a 14K 7-3/4” 14mm Cuban bracelet from Las Villas. Paid ~$6500 @139.8 grams. It actually measures 14.5mm so it’s a bit bigger than expected. However, my bracelet doesn’t hang straight. After going back and forth the conclusion was that over 13mm with a specific weight all the bracelets will curve to fit the wrist better. I wasn’t really liking this response from them since you clearly show a hang straight test. However, I reached out to CubaKnows on UA-cam and he actually confirmed this is true. That at longer bracelet lengths, widths being > 13mm, and heavier weights the chain will be slightly twisted to fit the wrist better. So I just accepted since CubaKnows literally knows everything about Cuban Links.
But then again…. This guy has a 145 gram 8” 14mm Cuban link bracelet and it hangs straight. ua-cam.com/video/bH4uUVuAd7s/v-deo.html I may send this back and have them ship me another.
Why arent you just buying the Gold, go to a bench jeweler and only pay for the work.. and if you upgrade, then go from 10k and up in carat because 10k is more copper and silver, than Gold. 14k its the other Way around more Gold than alloy. But the nicest is 18k and up..
U right bro they be looking big as hell online when u get the bracelet its small as hell in real life I thought ordering a 13 I was getting like a 22mm 😂 That pendant go hard too 3X!
man you not lying about DJI crazy turn around time, just commissioned a 13mm rose gold bracelet and time to completion is almost 3 months. I definitely like las villas fatter more traditional links, makes the piece stand out more in my opinion
Lmao i sware i see nothing but DJI comments on hella videos saying. Damn im still waiting. Lol itll be worth it forsure but i aint waiting 3 months for a bracelet😂 i dont have patience like that
Not a fan of the 10kt jewelry, I only do 14kt and up. I spent about 30k last year on jewelry. I just bought two dope pinky rings flooded. Enjoy your new pieces! 🙏🏻👊🏻
Just went from a 12mm 10k 90 grams to a 75 gram 10.5mm 14k bracelet. Lol i already want bigger. Cubans are addicting. Las villas definetely be hittin🔥🔥 for the price too
I been researching like crazy and what I learned is Daniel, Las Villas and Gus Villa (the 3 best imo) all got different file games on the finish. Daniel is known to have a flatter file. His bracelets look and lay flatter for a “sleeker” look. Gus bracelets look a little more thicker and overall chunkier than Daniel’s but his are supposedly a medium between Daniel’s flat file and the classic old thick cubans. Las Villas is not too flat but chunky without looking bubbly like the old school cubans from back in the day. I suggest going to each spot and handling them, try em on and see what you like if your able to
If you place an online order with las villas you might as well go in the store and buy something they got stock. You gonna wait 3 months plus; they are so delayed or need to hire more staff.
Aye bro how’s the tension on it from back then to now is it still hard to take off like you have to press the button to take it off or it just comes off easily
@@beezeal2042 18k is 75% pure gold. 10k is only 47% pure gold. Both have alloys to make up the difference, but 10k has more alloys than gold. That is why 10k is cheaper than 14k, 18k and above. In the U.S. 10k is the lowest karat to be sold as gold. In other countries 9k is the lowest which only 37% pure gold. An alloy is made of other non gold metals. An alloy is a filler.

@@kennygottlieb3628 18k is nice but in my opinion it scratches way too easily, my watch has 18k gold and my shirt sleeves scratch the gold .
PERFECT LINKS! Gorgeous piece

@@Slimreaper93 lol an expensive hobby😂🥴
I could definitely say having a Cuban bracelet makes me want to upgrade every time I look at it 😂🤦🏾♂️
Can't even see the reaper cuz all that shine.
Shine on brother.
✊🏾✨
Lindo brasalete buen trabajo
Why not go back to Daniels?? I was thinking about grabbing a 14kt 14mm bracelet from them. Is there something I need to know about them?
They're the best , that's all you need to know
Just got mine from lirys at a 13mm 7.5in and weighs 115g so think they gave me a thick link
That is 🔥! I see you Slim! 👍🏾
Im scared of these clamps they look like they snag easily. I work outside alot wanna wear it 24 7. Dunno if the sleek lock is worth it? Hmmm
Chain is looking tough 💪
Nice piece son 🔥🔥🔥
How much for a cuban like that..
How many inches long is that 14mm
7.5”
Got a 9mm from Daniel for about a year and a half think it’s time to upgrade to 11mm. You recommend las villas over Daniel?
As far as quality it is all the same to me! Opinions may vary tho, I’d go with wherever you can get the best bang for your buck.

I jus got my 16mm 14k 9 inch bracelet after 2weeks from las Villas
How about Rey's? I hear that they are professional, friendly, helpful and prompt.
Aye bro how’s the tension on it from back then to now is it still hard to take off like you have to press the button to take it off or it just comes off easily
Super tight. Locks solid most def won’t just fall off easily!
Hi. Do you have any idea how much they charge if you bring 2 pcs jewelry so they can make a big one?
Depends on amount of gold it is
@@Slimreaper93 i have a 100g 18k necklace and a 100g 18k bracelet... planning to make a 200gram 16mm bracelet
Cuánto cuesta y cuánto pesa
why wouldn't you go back to Daniel Jewelry?
Because las villas are thicker cheaper and just as good maybe better quality
Did they give you a good amount for your 10mm bracelet?
They only add to it to make it 14mm. Usually $37 per additional gram you need plus labor fees and tax
@@Slimreaper93 to high
my dream
Hello, what is your wrist size?
7inch wrist. Bracelet is 7.5inch long
The polishing seems a bit dull on camera.
Wow nice bracelet mine was more money than yours 😮😅😊
What’s wrong with daniels
14 fire medallion meltdown looks cheap
Do you have contact info? By any chance

10k? Nice piece but 18k has a lot more heft and nice color. Quality over quantity.
To each there own hater... that's like me telling you 18k? gotta go 22k or 24k. Quality over quantity lol
@@beezeal2042 Right, folks cant let people enjoy what they enjoy. 😂
He was not hating. There is not a lot of gold in 10k. It is mostly alloys.....
