Cmg was cheaper than Daniels and only bad thing I’ve heard about cmg is the time it takes and staying in contact. When it comes to the actual product, haven’t heard a single complaint. I can wait and want the best chain for the lowest price.

Again, money had nothing whatsoever to do with it as far as I’m concerned. Just wanted the best regardless. It’s funny how ppl will spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a Rolex when a Casio would do a far superior job but crunch nickels when it comes to other things.

Agreed- I wanted the best chain. Just a surprise that cmg was cheaper than Daniels. No complaints here.

Reputable Miami Cuban link necklace shop

Picked this up today. Cuban bracelet purchased in Cuba in the late 1980’s. About 57 grams solid of 14k. I traded for it. An ounce of 24k gold bullion. I always wanted one. So I got it without cash and far from retail which I got to believe is around $2,500 and not truly from Cuba. About to drop it in the ultrasonic cleaner. My watchmaker said he'll buff it out for me if I want.

Cmg contacted me late yesterday.
Had to pay a bit more- typically they give an estimate and when they are done, they adjust the price based according to weight.

Ordered it in the last week of April. So it looks like they are on point with their estimates. Should be getting it soon.

I’ve been wearing fancy gold link neck chains all my life, but never a Cuban link. I’m interested in a Miami Cuban link chain in 14K white gold. I know yellow gold is where’s it’s at with the Cuban link chains, but I only do white metal jewelry. What’s an everyday, low key, popular size for a man? 6-8mm? I’m tall and slender (6’0” and approx 165lbs), with a fairly skinny neck.

Here is what you're looking for, an 18k WG Cuban I purchased 30yrs ago and recently starting wearing again. Can't remember much about size, weight, purchase price since it's been so long, but glad I have one because these are beautiful chains. Only WG does it for me as well.

Dang, that piece is The bug has really hit me for one of these...My wife gave me a fancy WG link chain for a wedding gift almost 19 years ago. I’ve been wearing it ever since, but if I pull the trigger on a Miami Cuban link chain, it will have to take a back seat. I hope she won’t mind, LOL!

Any updates?

I ordered a 7mm 20” in 14k WG Cuban from Daniel’s Jewerly. I should have it in about 3 weeks.

I’ve had my chain since last August and love it.

I’m thinking about changing the lock on my chain from a sleek lock to a traditional box lock with diamond button. Do you think the diamond on the button will get lost in the white gold?

My brother recently asked about one of these so thought i'd do some digging. There is a thread for everything on this forum lol. Can anyone offer any advice about UK purchases? I noticed Hatton Jewelers had some available but I've no idea what I'm looking for.
