Love the 8mm for the reason that it’s not to big or to small and if you get it rhodium plated, it would look like white gold. I’m thinking I’m gonna go for that set up, when I’m ready to order one. God bless you my boy and everyone else in the channel that watches you.
I like Gus Villa, Daniel, Garcia and traxNYC. I've respected their professional jewelry work, customer service and timely delivery of ordered products. Some others could use a lot of work in those areas, IMHO.
@@balltmax You can talk to traxNYC and even get ahold of the boss Maks himself if you think an order taker is stiffing you on a price. I believe that Maks is a pro and will sell at reasonable prices without trying to squeeze the last buck out of somebody. Maybe you'll get a staffer on the line that won't give you a break, so Maks is always ready to jump in and work an issue Iike the pro he is. Best regards.
Great review as always. That 14mm looks nice 😲👍next time I get a big Cuban link I'm going to get it in 22" or 23" because I can where it with a V neck shirt.
If I'm being honest this was a fair comparison. The 999 chain from harlembling isn't made in Italy. It's base in Miami where that particular link should be made. I'm sure the quality is comparable. My only issue with comparing gus villa to harlembling is like comparing Nissan to Lexus. Harlembling is a great company but the fact is they buy wholesale. Nothing wrong with that business model, but it's not the same as a GusVilla. Harlembling will have more choices and affordable options as opposed to each piece being handmade.
I’ve been eyeing a 8mm or 10mm gold over silver from all the popular spots and Gus villa definitely my top choice as of now. You have any gold over silver Cubans from Gus villa?
im having this problem myself right now my birthday is next month i plan on buying 10mm silver miami cuban link chain and bracelet from one of these two but dont know which to go with they say gus is the king of Miami cuban link but eddie is the king of silver now that is a dilemma
That is a dilemma! I'd go with Gusvilla if you're not worried about money and you want quicker shipping. I'd go with Harlem Bling if you want to save money cause you can use Promo Code Balltmax to get a discount, but the shipping takes a long time, 2-5 weeks
@balltmax hey thanks I can't say I'm not worried about money harlembling handmade miami cuban is a pretty close competitor to gus. Thanks for your promo code! I actually shot emails out to both who told me this is the best month to buy
i've owned many chains from both, in gold, .925 and in .950. Only kept the ones from Gus. Every chain made by the no name shops from harlem bling are subpar at best when sitting right next to a Gus Villa Jewelry cuban link chain. Poor special Ed, so triggered and emotional over his India dropship junk.
@@balltmax my harlem bling chain was all dented and scratched up from being carelessly tossed into a bag. i had to send it back. gus wraps his in paper to prevent damage during shipping and they're polished like a grand seiko.
I have a 10mm 26inch and 12mm bracelet both from gus all hand made and i paid less then if i got one chain from Harlem bling. Forget a promo code just give a good price and cut the bs
@6496chase You're really just paying for the quality and Craftmenship. Silver isn't that expensive but skilled Cubans making Miami Cuban Links is and it's worth every penny!
@balltmax i think im going with 8mm HB because it's little more inexpensive and im new to wearing chains at all. im just ordering my first ones this week
The 999 silver is stronger than 24k gold and people wear 24k jewelry all the time. U see that thick asss chain? Its fkn metal...u could have a led chain that size and it probably would hold up 😂 u will never have to worry about the durability on something that size . If u get it caught on something i promise u wont have to worry about it breaking. Ull be worrying about choking.
@@balltmax ya Tru but I like the color more it looks more pure like higher karat gold or something. I like that look as if the metal is soft. It dulls more I just don't really like the shine on 925 or even 14k honestly. I like 18k . Although I know this probably isn't advised but if u put a little mother mag polish on a rag and run it through it a bit it will have a crazy shine on 999 silver and it will last way longer than jewelry cleaner or polish.u can literally get a mirror polish with a rag lol. I realize it's not for silver but it works lol.
@@Stuckinthepast_ it will shine tf out it. If u wanna clean it first u can put silver in a boiling pot with tinfoil and the bottom sprinkle some baking soda and salt stir it up and anyone ther will stick to the tinfoil. It will come out spotless but dull and then u can use some mag polish lol. I don't think polishing silver is a problem since making it a tad bit lighter from polishing over and over since silver isn't worth shit. 10 or 11 grams of silver is almost no different in price lol
I cant watch these kind of video's without my hart beating twice as fast than normal 🤩 thank you for the great comparison 💎💯🔥😎👍🏾
Haha, glad they get the heart rate up!

Appreciate it as always Gee! 🙏
Im glad you mentioned the 9.50 stamping has to be asked for with Gus thats good to know
Glad I was able to help you out!
Both of those chains are gangster. I’ve always loved Miami Cuban link chains ⛓️
From the king of outstanding pieces bro. Both looks fantastic but I will go with Harlem bling. Keep doing ur thing bro let no one hold u down
Appreciate the feedback bro 🙏 and you too!
Stamping should be standard
Agreed!
I like Gus Villa, Daniel, Garcia and traxNYC. I've respected their professional jewelry work, customer service and timely delivery of ordered products. Some others could use a lot of work in those areas, IMHO.
I like Gus Villa and Daniel too. Traxnyc is overpriced by quite a bit do I don't buy nothing from them

i waited for this video. Thanks!!!
No Problem! Glad I was able to help out! 🙏
Restaurant analogy is so true for paris
Hard choice wich one I like the best both are beautiful.
Agreed, it's a really tough choice!!

I know what you mean, it sucks when it goes in and out of your shirt all the time in that 20 inch range
Always authentic 💯 💎
good job bro keep up the great vids
Thanks, will do! 🙏
Both make very good quality Cubans but I’m going with Gus Villa.
Agreee!

Also from what I've seen their handmade particular ones are more expensive than Gus villas
I’ve been eyeing a 8mm or 10mm gold over silver from all the popular spots and Gus villa definitely my top choice as of now. You have any gold over silver Cubans from Gus villa?
I don't cause I kind of quit buying gold-plated but I've heard they are the top guys when it comes to that, and the plating holds up over time
I got a chain and bracelet. Looks good. Not perfect in my opinion but it looks clean AF when I wear it
Harlembling links are tighter.
Does gus villa do iced out watches like harlembling?
I don't think they do, they just specialize in Silver and Gold Miami Cuban Links
Easy Gus Villa.
Haha, Gus is the 🐐 but these 999s from Harlem Bling are pretty 🔥 too
More expensive so gotta roll with harlem
@@TrTriTrippinexactly. Plus Gus 950 is the same price at 999. Might as well go with pure silver at the same price

That literally makes no sense considering the 10mm is 371+$ get your brain checked. Harlem is cheaper..
Gus overcharges for silver, you smoking that good... Lol
TEAM GVJ
Just ordered a 10mm 20" GOS Miami Cuban Chain from Gus!!!!
Hell yeah, he has the best GOS ones you can buy! You won't be disappointed!
@@balltmaxI sure hope so for $645!!! 😮
How you liking it chief?
@Krideezy Very Nice!
@6496chase You're really just paying for the quality and Craftmenship. Silver isn't that expensive but skilled Cubans making Miami Cuban Links is and it's worth every penny!
If you look right now in compare handmade Cubans, Gus Villa is way cheaper than Harlem Bling
Amazing silver
Thank you! 🙏
Harlem Bling doesn't make shit, he flips chains from Panthera for double the price
both are fire and the tightness of links for both seems to be the mark of quality thar separates both from the inferior competition
Agreed! It's a tough choice!
@balltmax i think im going with 8mm HB because it's little more inexpensive and im new to wearing chains at all. im just ordering my first ones this week
@nonewmsgs You won't be disappointed, and you can use Promo Code Balltmax to save some money
@balltmax would you think waiting till black friday would save money?
@nonewmsgs It's totally up to you and I'm not sure what deals they'll be having then
His name is Gus Villa my guy
Already know that, and same with Harlembling being Harlem Bling but more people search the name as one for both companies and Look at Gus Villas logo
GVJ all day ... not one made by some no name manufacturer.
