Hello, the product title clearly states (SEMI-HOLLOW) as well as in the product description, I'm not sure how else we can be more clear that the bracelet is hollow, and there for light weight. Lightweight has nothing to do with quality, it's just your perception that lighter means cheaper. A full solid 11mm miami cuban bracelet will easily cost 3 times as much, so this is why we have the more affordable semi hollow option.
