I picked up my 7mm 26” 14k from Rey’s about 2 weeks ago. Norma treated me like I was family, she even texted me pics of the chain being made. The quality work was so sick I placed an order for a 12mm MC bracelet.
What size and karat are you upgrading to? Norma did say that most customers upgrade their chains and bracelets. I’m already thinking that I’ll move up to a 9mm next year if Rona don’t get me. Not only do they do great work, their prices and turn around time beat the other Cuban link makers that I got quotes from. Once I saw the quality of my chain I knew I was going to be ordering a bracelet. I don’t even think I wore it for more than 5 minutes before I was texting Norma. Once the bracelet is in I’ll do a review on both!
Kedah I’m going with 11.4mm 10k 20”. I want the 20 inch chain because I already have a 24” chain. As long as this Rona stuff doesn’t mess up my money I’ll get it soon. Can’t wait to see your review
Firstly, congrats on your new 7mm, you’re going to love your new piece. Yes, I’m out in AZ and they sent the chain through FEDEX which you’ll have to sign to receive the package. Norma will text you to confirm your name and shipping address before sending out he chain. Once you sign for the package, she’ll send you a text to let you know she’s got your signature. I know they were pretty booked up when I ordered in March so my guess is they’re still working on your chain. Rey’s a one man show, and it’s worth the wait. I promise!
I had already ordered from Daniels a couple weeks back but this video made me call them to change my order from a 14k 24in 7mm to a 8mm. I hope it wont be too big to wear everyday haha
Depends on what you are looking for. 7mm is probably perfect for everyday wear. The 8mm is slightly bigger than that. My 8mm is heavy but it’s not uncomfortable when I’m wearing it and I wear it almost everyday. It’s usually tucked into my shirt with the sides of the chain visible and people still notice it. I wear it outside of my shirt when I want to be flashy.
Just a quick update just received my 7mm 24 inch Cuban link wow this chain is 🔥 Norma is the best she took care of me every step of the way will keep buying chains from Reys going forward thanks again for your video help me a lot on my purchase stay 💪
I wear my 8mm Gus Villa cuban chain out sometimes and get stares from almost everyone. Usually rock my 14mm 24" tucked in.. nice to feel and hear that weight. Nothing beats benchmade chains out of Miami 😎
Got a quote from rays today 18k 26in 8mm 11K after tax Went to cmg links bought the same 18k 26in 8mm for $8700 after tax.. just ordered it.. my advice is to shop around because they switch up prices quick
I'm talking to Norma right now about possibly getting a 6.8mm, 24 inch. They really are booked out like you said. That's good for them though. I'm glad they're getting more recognition. Because their work is fire, and they really do have great customer service.
@@OfficialAceBoogie I'll also add that I had my bracelet extended and Norma was like, no worries send it back. I was tripping cause I'm think you gonna see the difference in the newly added links, it's gonna look like trash etc. I called Norma up and she was like, look fam it's going to be nice, Rey been doing this since forever. I got my new bracelet a week later and it was DOPE!!! I mean you couldn't even tell that it was extended. Shiiiid I even forgot that I got it extended, it look likes it was made all at the same time. So long story short... if you're looking for Cubans, Rey is the only place to call up.
That chain is Fire 🔥 great looker I have a quick question i order a 7mm 24 inch for a everyday were should I stay at 7mm or go 8mm does the 8mm feel heavy on you neck can you were it all day just want to get the right size.
@@OfficialAceBoogie Yo fam, it's funny you say that cause I got the 12mm bracelet and I was about to go with the 14mm. Norma was like nah go 12 you'll be happy. Anyways, that shit feels like a brick on our wrist bruh lol. I swear people prolly think that shit is fake. Only time I wear it is to show out! For some things bigger don't mean better hahaha!
Honestly I don’t know. Somebody said it was casted but I never asked about it. In terms of durability it worked really good from the day I got it until I traded it in for my other Cuban from them
@@OfficialAceBoogie Thanks a lot for response , i was very beetwin reys and danel but i hear that reys make the best link so i well go with them only issue is waiting time is abount 3 month
I didn’t negotiate on the price. I was happy with the quote I got. If you wanted to haggle it would probably be best to do that in person. But it never hurts to try
I’m 6 feet. Both lengths are good. I just got a 20” which will give you an idea of what the shorter chain will look like. I’ll be posting that vid this week
“ you can still see the chain on, but you ain’t tryna do to much” that humble ishh 💥
You know the vibes 💪🏾💪🏾
@@OfficialAceBoogie awesome review!
Great video and chain. Good to see more of Rey's cubans coming up on RUclips. I feel like he has the best work but underrated.
Yea he’s definitely underrated. Mostly Daniels and Lirys Cubans on here. Im going to upgrade with them after all this pandemic stuff is over with.

Kedah they really do good work over there. I would say they have the best Cubans out. I just texted Norma a few days ago about upgrading my chain.

Kedah did they deliver it to you through mail i ordered a 7mm 24inch 14k on the 8th of april through them haven’t got mine in yet i live in Cali

I like it tucked in looks more classy and people still know what you working with without you trying to show out
Real talk!! That’s the move
chain goes hard. Norma is the kindest person/best customer service.
Thanks. Yea Norma really has the customer service thing on lock. When I’m ready to upgrade I’m going back to them
I had already ordered from Daniels a couple weeks back but this video made me call them to change my order from a 14k 24in 7mm to a 8mm. I hope it wont be too big to wear everyday haha
I think that 8mm is gonna be perfect!!!
I have same problem i wanna order but im very beetwin 7mm and 8mm i want it for everyday wear . Did u ordered the 8mm can u wear it as everyday use?

Nice piece man. Love my Cuban link from Reys.
I appreciate it. Glad you like yours. Rey’s is underrated when it comes to the Miami Cuban chains
Just a quick update just received my 7mm 24 inch Cuban link wow this chain is 🔥 Norma is the best she took care of me every step of the way will keep buying chains from Reys going forward thanks again for your video help me a lot on my purchase stay 💪
I glad you’re happy with your new chain!!! I’m sure it’s a work of art 💪🏾💪🏾
Dope Piece Woo Bless Up
Much appreciated. Blessings

Those are some nice chains!! Can’t beat the handmade Cubans 💯

👀 2300 more!! That’s crazy 🤦🏾♂️ can’t wait to see your new joint when they’re done. I know it’s gonna b 🔥🔥🔥
Hey ace do you think 8mm is good for everyday wear
I like the A on the clasp! Nice touch!👏🏿
Appreciate it. Had to get something custom on it

I’m glad you’re taking the time to check them out. Every link is handmade by Rey personally so it takes a while but is definitely worth it!!
@@OfficialAceBoogie I'll also add that I had my bracelet extended and Norma was like, no worries send it back.

@@kedah2398 bingo!! I’m gonna see if Rey can make a Cuban ring. That’s next on my list
How big is your custom pendant in inches looks like a good 3-2.5inch and how big did you have to get your bail to fit the 8mm cuban
It’s 2.5” tall and 2.5” wide. The bail size is 10mm to fit around the box lock
Another question does rays only do those box locks and not the sleek locks
Yea last time I checked he only does box locks
wow
☑️
Dope chain! Dope vid 💯
Good lookin!!
Can u get the sleek box lock from Rey’s or it has to be that kind
I haven’t seen them do the sleek lock before. I’ve only seen the box lock
That chain is Fire 🔥 great looker I have a quick question i order a 7mm 24 inch for a everyday were should I stay at 7mm or go 8mm does the 8mm feel heavy on you neck can you were it all day just want to get the right size.
Nah the 8mm doesn’t feel too heavy for everyday wear. I always say go as big as you think because later you’ll want to go bigger
@@OfficialAceBoogie Yo fam, it's funny you say that cause I got the 12mm bracelet and I was about to go with the 14mm. Norma was like nah go 12 you'll be happy. Anyways, that shit feels like a brick on our wrist bruh lol. I swear people prolly think that shit is fake. Only time I wear it is to show out! For some things bigger don't mean better hahaha!
@@kedah2398 you’re right I’m sure that 12 is sitting nice!!
What would you do a massive cuban link like half kilo or break it up ( the weight)?
Personally I’d break it up. You could still have a chunky 325 gram chain to stunt with and have a 175 gram chain for a daily wear
Dope review, question is the box lock handmade ?
Honestly I don’t know. Somebody said it was casted but I never asked about it. In terms of durability it worked really good from the day I got it until I traded it in for my other Cuban from them
Don't know about this one, but the box lock on my Cuban from Rey's was handmade.
Sheesh. Where did you get your earrings?
I got them from the downtown jewelry district in LA. I’m not sure the shop but they’re 2cts
Does your chain ever tangle up or kink at all? Thank you
Nope it’s been goin strong with no kinks at all. And the box lock still snaps perfectly
It's down to Rey's and CMG for me. Your chain looks fire as fuck.
I am a maintenance guy what would you recommend ...I want like the best size for daily wear
Jesus I would do an 8MM for everyday wear and 24 inches in length. Reys is the best . I just got my 10MM and it’s flawless
24 inches is very versatile. I’d go with that. Any size between 7-10 mm and you should be good
I order the same size but in 14k from CMG been waiting 6week and have to wait another 6 more week 😭
That wait is vicious but I know it’s gonna be worth it!!
Do u have any problem wearing it as everyday use?
🔥🔥🔥
Not sure if 7mm or 8mm or 22 or 24 length
24 inch you'll be able to pull off and on over your head. If you don't want that you'll have to go under 24
Cuz was that a raised A or a machine made intial
U had any problem with the lock so far?
Nope no problems at all. I wear it about 4 days a week and the lock is as good as when I first got it
@@OfficialAceBoogie Thanks a lot for response , i was very beetwin reys and danel but i hear that reys make the best link so i well go with them only issue is waiting time is abount 3 month
Yea man they’re always backed up. I think I’m gonna get a ring from them next
@@OfficialAceBoogie i think it’s worth waiting
Do they negotiate on the price? Or is it the price they give you?
I didn’t negotiate on the price. I was happy with the quote I got. If you wanted to haggle it would probably be best to do that in person. But it never hurts to try
How do you order offline from reys?
Through text 1 (305) 793-9468 this is the number I used
How tall are you bro? Trying to decide between a 22” or 24” in 8mm
I’m 6 feet. Both lengths are good. I just got a 20” which will give you an idea of what the shorter chain will look like. I’ll be posting that vid this week
Ace Boogie lookin forward to the video. Thanks bruh
good
video
Thanks!!
Who made the piece?
A lady named Nancy in LA jewelry district. Her shop isn’t there anymore. Got it made about 13 years ago
