What are ur specs?I keep seeing inconsistent links in pics of Leon chains. Got me spooked bc my chain from him is supposed to be finished tomorrow. No one tags his work on IG, no YouTube reviews... Seems odd for as much as his name is mentioned here
Imo Leon’s bigger links are A1. It’s the 9mm n smaller get kinda whanky.

Can anyone recommend a way to polish up my Cuban band or a place to take it? I have some surface scratches on it and doesn’t clean up as good anymore

8-8.5mm, to add to it the lady gave me grief about asking for pics prior to shipping. Now I'm SUPER nervous awaiting pics lol

first time since May 2013
prices will be going down

U should be good. It’s the chains that are pre made that usually be the not as quality as I believe. Hopefully if it’s made to order has a better outcome.

dealing with leon 2x I'll chime in, you don't have to worry about the links at all, they will be done properly. what you need to worry about is the box lock, depending on if you told them you wanted a hand made lock vs a casted lock your results might vary.
me being picky i don't like the space in between the male and female portion of the lock. some might not care, but that would be a reason for me to send a chain back! also check the figure 8 clasps that they are even and tight. The bracelet i got from them the figure 8 clasp was loose and i had to tighten it myself. also my bracelet was supposed to be 8" it came in bigger than that. i had to send it back to be resized, little things like that you might have a problem with.

What has been your experience with going back to your jeweler to size up?
I have a 3mm rope but I definitely wanna size up to the 5mm rope now.

You always end up paying more than if you would’ve went bigger in the first place.
I traded in my cuban twice with Reys and and the average price per gram ended up being not favorable.

Looking into getting an 8mm, 7" 14k bracelet. Leon's, Daniel, CMG and Rey's the best place to go?

Leon chain touched down. Overall nice chain but you nailed it, came with the crappy box lock (opens without pressing the button and the male end sticks out the back in addition to the gap). If you're a particular person I'd recommend picking up your chain in person. I wish I would have bc I won't bother trying to remedy my issues. No deal breakers though, love the shape of the links, just wish they were as tight as my limaxi cubandealing with leon 2x I'll chime in, you don't have to worry about the links at all, they will be done properly. what you need to worry about is the box lock, depending on if you told them you wanted a hand made lock vs a casted lock your results might vary.

nothing wrong with sending them an email letting them know that you aren't happy, and the issues you want fixed. you might lose out on shipping costs to them and be without the chain for a week but they will fix it. one thing i learned about them is that you have to be extra specific about how you want your chain to be.
