No issues with the links as far as I can tell but I’m no expert. I do wish I would’ve gone with a 8.5” instead. I just see everyone on YouTube have an obsession with their chains or bracelets hanging straight.

to be honest... my cuban hangs straight as a ruler, but it doesn't lay completely flat on the chest due to me asking them to make the links extra tight. was it a deal breaker, nope.
just enjoy your bracelet and don't micromanage, I doubt anyone is going to ask you to take it off to see if it hangs straight.

Can someone let me what makes a Cuban not hang straight?

If they didn't straighten it after connecting the links or a flipped link will cause it to not hang straight.

You ain’t lying I paid 3600 for 90.8 gr 11.8mm. From Leon.

Yea I’d go with Limaxi considering it’s $1000 difference and their links are just as good as the Miami guys.

Did u ask if the 5mm is hand made? the smallest mm chain I have heard a shop hand make is 5.5mm from Reys/Leon.
Appreciate the advice. How do the links look in your opinion.
looks great. hang straight is just more marketing bs from jewelers that people take too seriously. and everyone on you-tube just parroting the same bs. your bracelet looks good. if there was really a error in the manufacturing you would really notice unless you are ocd.

I know every once and awhile someone will ask for the best place to buy a rope. Nova gold is around for $42.50 for 14k ropes. That’s almost $15 per gram cheaper than Jacoje.

update : I ended up reaching out to las villas and they said that sometimes they do it purposely to fit around your wrist more snug. But they gave me the option of returning it and having a new one made so I went that route. Is it possible to “rework” the bracelet or does a new one have to completely remade? They said 6-8 days to remake. I initially waited over a month for the bracelet.

As long as it looks great when you wear it , I would keep it.
The in house laborers might butcher the thing worse if you send it back to get worked on

agreed, I would prioritize fit over everything else.
