Posted in here recently for some advice on helping a friend purchase a big cuban. Well, it’s done! 1,227 grams, 14kt, 27”, and 20 mm.
Contacted Rey’s, Daniel’s, and Leon’s.
Rey’s quoted $48/gram with a December delivery date.
Daniel’s quoted $40.50/gram with an 11 week lead time.
Leon’s quoted $38 a gram with a couple days lead time.
For the hell of it, we also visited several Philly jewelers, including Shyne, and they were quoting +/- $55 a gram.
Flew down to Leon’s with my boy, and he made the purchase in person. Took about a week to complete, with the Labor Day holiday. Leon was a pleasure to deal with, the chain looks beautiful. Can’t wait to see it in person. I’ll post an “on neck” pic when I meet up with my man.
Thanks again to my Niketalk jewelry brethren, if it wasn’t for y’all, and everything I’ve learned from this thread, he definitely wouldn’t have gotten such a good deal.
