    Gus...5 1/2 yrs ago when my 3rd son was born u were with gfm. You made sure my bracelet was done right. Years later...my necklace you did right. My eldests ring u did right. My brothers ring u did right. A poster of art is a poster. Paying for the artistry is saying i own the original. Keep it up bruv

    Maybe it's different in my Miami, but here in northern Nevada, I cannot find cuban links, hand or machine made, for less than what Gus charges on his website. Even used, form the pawn shop, a 9mm 24 inch would run me at least $8k.

    Why not comparing the same size? Then you can TRULY see the similarities or the differences. Is that so difficult?
    10mm handmade vs 10ml machine made. Or 8 mm handmade vs 8 mm machine made. Is that too much to ask?

    There ought to be a copyright on Miami Cuban chains, their design and manufacturing process. Obviously, the Italian machine made chains aren't made by the traditional process and don't have the right, by standards of truth, to call their chains Miami Cuban. They are just simply trying to take a cut out of the legitimate Miami Cuban chains market by selling a bogus product. If you went to buy a Rolls Royce and the salesman was trying to sell you a Kia, telling you that it was a Rolls Royce and charging you the price of a Rolls for that Kia, would you buy it? I think not! 🤫🤔

    • @kw1kstr1k3
      @kw1kstr1k3 Місяць тому

      Agreed. I think the Miami Cuban Link label should be reserved for handmade chains only and they could make up some other link name for machine made chains in that style. I know a lot of people would call that nitpicking tho because the name really comes from the link style and not how it was made necessarily.

    How is this a fair comparison? The hand made are bigger and naturally gonna look better than the smaller ones when talking Cubans. He should of, at minimum, had the same mm for comparison.
