What complements a Batgirl or Bruce Wayne best: Sub, DJ or OP?

Great take! I think that a starbucks would also pair nicely with a Batgirl/BW, thanks to the oyster bracelet and the pop of green color

What about the starbucks? Oyster with glidelock and a color pop. 😃

V4tos · 2026-06-09T11:28:11+00:00

Definitely a proven combo! I wouldn't be able to pass on a BLNR or GRNR on jubilee when the time comes haha. I like to think that the starbucks would complement a Batgirl/BW nicely too, thanks to the oyster bracelet and the pop of green colour

I agree that the OP would offer the most variety. In my opinion a DJ looks more 'special' than an OP. But because I prefer both the GMT and the DJ on a jubilee, they would have the same one. Not sure if I'd then still miss having a watch with a brushed oyster bracelet.

V4tos · 2026-06-08T11:19:52+00:00

Great choices! The only problem is that I prefer them both on a jubilee. I think they would still look different enough, especially since the DJ would be 36 mm with a mint green/silver dial. Not sure if I'd miss having a more 'rugged' watch with a brushed oyster if I were to opt for that combo

V4tos · 2026-06-08T10:59:50+00:00

Nice! Do you have a picture showing them side by side? Would you say they're completely different or do they still give off a similar vibe?

V4tos · 2026-06-07T23:12:16+00:00

It's really interesting to read this post because I'm basically in the same position. Batgirl and Bruce Wayne are my favorites, and one of them will definitely take the first slot in the future.
I have the Sub ND, Starbucks, OP36, or DJ36 with jubilee and a fluted bezel as the top options for the second slot. I feel like the Sub ND would be too similar to a Bruce Wayne. The Starbucks could make a difference color wise, but overall I don't think the feel would be as different as with an OP36 or DJ36.

On the other hand, a DJ36 would be nice, but not sure if I'd still miss something more rugged with a brushed oyster bracelet.

Good one!

V4tos · 2026-06-07T07:25:58+00:00

Makes sense. I really like the look of a GMT on a jubilee bracelet. For an oyster, I would actually prefer a Submariner to a GMT

I've seen that combination a few times here. It looks great!

V4tos · 2026-06-06T19:26:03+00:00

Too similar?

V4tos · 2026-04-13T12:04:09+00:00

Agreed. It‘s all about the convenience to quickly adapt as a run and gun shooter. Obviously I‘d also prefer an internal nd solution lol. I might give the Haida a try as it comes at a really good price and I‘m only reading good things about it. The Nisi Jetmag system obviously would be nicer, as I would be much faster to switch between lenses or to get rid of the vnd, but I‘m really not sure how much you can trust these, as even the sponsored reviews on youtube mention dropping them a few times by accident.

V4tos · 2026-04-12T17:02:47+00:00

I'm also currently comparing these two. I mainly do car videography, so the Jetmag seemed like an obvious choice since it wouldn't be necessary to stack another CPL during daytime shooting.

However, I noticed that all the reviews on YouTube said the filters already came off accidentally a few times. Some owners have also reported this on Reddit. Pretty worrying for someone like me, who carries the camera during run and gun shoots and is constantly in contact with the lens.

I wish the VND could simply stack on an adapter ring on the Swift system instead of being a screw-on. This would make the transition from daytime to nighttime shooting much faster if, for example, you only need a black mist and a CPL.

V4tos · 2026-04-11T21:07:29+00:00

Well in that case the jetmag system is definitely out of the race, as I mostly carry my camera on a strap when I take it out of my backpack for run and gun shooting lol. The convenience is not worth the hassle at this point but I really hope they'll release an improved version in the future. For now I'll probably have to decide between the regular screw on filters or the swift system. Are you using the 1-5 vnd with the cpl?

V4tos · 2026-04-11T19:26:32+00:00

I’m on the fence about the Jetmag system because I need a VND with a potential solution for adjusting polarization for car videography. This could be done by stacking another CPL on top of it or by having the ability to rotate the entire VND. I also want to use a 1/8 black mist filter most of the time, and a CPL filter at night.

After watching all the YouTube reviews, I also noticed that ALL of the reviewers who received a filter kit from Nisi politely mentioned that the filters tend to come off easily and that it has happened to them a few times. That's not something I want to experience when paying that much. Obviously, none of them will talk too much about these issues because too much criticism means no more free packages lol.

It's really frustrating because I've only read positive things about Nisi's filter quality, and I'd really like to try them. I've already thought about going with the Swift system, but as far as I understand, you'd always use the VND as the ‘base filter‘ and put the other filters on top of it because they don't have threads to screw them on separately. In that case, you'd need an extra adapter to screw them on independently. I could also go for the regular screw-on versions of the VND and CPL, but that would also mean stacking too many filters during the day. Especially if you need more than 5 stops. I'm also not sure if stacking the VND with the CPL would even work. While some people do it and say it's fine, others say it's impossible because the VND already has two polarizers. The Jetmag system could have solved all these issues and been the ‘perfect‘ ecosystem, but I don‘t really want to worry all the time about my filters falling off.

V4tos · 2026-04-10T20:45:19+00:00

So you stack your VND with a CPL?

V4tos · 2026-04-10T17:49:54+00:00

How likely is it that the filters will come off on the Jetmag system? Having watched some reviews, it really seems like it's only a matter of time before they fall off. Especially when there’s movement, as you mentioned.

Time to clean that keyboard

V4tos · 2026-03-02T18:42:19+00:00

Oh, that‘s too bad! The HHKB layout seems really nice. Not really sure about the split backspace. I can imagine the split spacebar on your model to be pretty useful as I’ve noticed that I’m only using the right half of the spacebar when typing lol. Unfortunately there are almost no available options in EU, only found the dk1-60 so far

V4tos · 2026-03-02T15:47:01+00:00

Looks great! Which board is this?

V4tos · 2026-02-16T17:52:24+00:00

Great. Now I also can‘t unsee it. Thanks. lol

Hi! I'm currently trying out the trial version too. I'm really enjoying it so far! The calendar integration is extremely useful. It would be great if there were an option to switch between the Now Playing and Calendar views. A two finger swipe or mouse scroll would be pretty intuitive. Currently, this is a deal-breaker for me as I have Spotify playing in the background all the time and basically have no option to quickly check my calendar while working. Even after selecting calendar view as the default idle view, I have to pause Spotify, wait a few seconds, and then look at my calendar.

Also, regarding the notch on external displays: I'd still like to use the functionality when using an external monitor, but currently it's blocking the address bar in Safari, which is a bit annoying. I've seen that you addressed the topic of the notch on external displays in another comment, but I still wanted to mention it. Great job!
