    That is a very hansom and classic link, I don't think it will ever age in terms of style. I only wish I could pull it off myself, people already think I strange with the whole pinky thing, but oh well, that's just me. I'm not going to change for nobody. Hmmm, maybe it is time for a more slender one of these for me?🤔🤔
    Thank you for sharing,
    Best regards,

I love it when cinema, style, culture, history, horology, and of course watches, all collide. That is the most fun stuff to share and make. Thank you my friend for the inspiring words, Enjoy your Arnie!

    I’ve spent a pretty good amount of $ with las villas. First and foremost customer service with these guys is super solid! Never had any type of issues or miscommunication. I usaully do all my transactions with las villas Via txt message with Oscar. As for the product i’ve had my pieces for very little time and i gotta say im super happy! Weights on point welding is great the locks are tight they hang straight. No problem. With time i will see how good the locks are usually ive seen alot of people complain about the locks losing thier tension . Honestly might be fhe reason why i decide to go with a sleek lock? But man i love the OG box lock . Well see. Awesome to see that you made a Las Villas video i been waiting for this one for a while CUBA !! Much love brother

    Very cool video, was looking to buy one from them. And being a mechanic not a fan of box lock. But it melds the look of links better than lobster clasp. It basically designed to fail unless it was spring metal internally for more locked safe clicks. Links look good nice weight. Good price. It's them or Lirys cubans.

    for what I have seen I believe that even the meshes are made with the technique of wax casting, cut, connected, welded and finished. That's why you notice a difference between the two sides, the upper rounded the lower flat. I made one in silver very similar apart from the closure ...

      @Cubaknowloco  2 года назад +1

      Weight varies and depends on final product. I disagree with the link being more spaced out on dji, but L.V. Filing isn’t the same on all products as it depends who they source it from. Some are filed like the video other are filed like DJI as some have even said in the comments as their LV piece looks different, sometimes they have casted locks sometimes handmade. It all depends which effects pricing.

      @@Cubaknowloco I agree . las villas has a few different cuban styles floating around . I was referring to website specs. A 10mm 10k 22 inch chain from LV is $5,205 at 155 grams. Daniels same specs is. $6,560 at 147 grams. I know that's before finish but you're starting at a$1,300 dollar difference right off the bat for less gold. The only differentiator is the box lock. Can't knock Daniels box locks as they're truly the best but $1,300 more? Kinda tough for me but I appreciate it . Ballas only shop at Daniels ... 😆. That premium a tough one to justify unless you're cartier .

As a consumer..I like Daniels from their box locks to the links they are on point..then after I like cmg their links look like traditional Cuban links but...casted locks..as well as Rey's..casted locks..limaxi their links look ok to me nothing I would buy..where are all the Cuban makers with handmade locks besides Daniels? Leon jewelry? Amury? Grimal? ...I just found a small place..Garcia jewelry in Miami..their links look pretty decent.. trying to find out if their locks are handmade..Cuban you need to do a casted / handmade lock review.

    I had a 10mm Daniels Cuban before sending it over to las villas for a 13mm upgrade. Everything you pointed out is exactly on point with the filing and “boxy” shape of the link. They told me my box lock was handmade and I was reassured that many times through out the process but it just doesn’t hit the way Daniels does, not even close. More bang for your buck with las villas but I will be sending it back to Daniels to get re-done. Grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I would gladly pay the premium for better craftsmanship and quality with Daniels.

    Las Villas - chain and bracelet are NOT the best quality and they also cast their box lock and that’s the reason they have so much issues overtime etc. They swear they don’t but ok… However, I do like the old traditional Cuban link instead of the modern flat look that some other store are making.
