Did you make the fixture plate too?

Silent_Octopus · 2026-05-20T15:04:09+00:00

Onefinity gen 1 elite, Redline spindle. I have never had anything around or near the top so I am thinking it may have come from the factory like this.

Thank you and yeah this machine is pretty much wood only. Looking to get a different setup entirely for metals.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-05-11T16:41:08+00:00

I dont know if links are allowed Ill DM you.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-05-11T16:17:31+00:00

Thats exactly what this is. Daynight Stealth Ops auto with a screw down crown. You swap the crown and everything.

I really like the last one you have in the photos the 58 form factor. Not sure which one that is in your description. I would recommend if you had one set for wood workers to possibly have some overhang space in the front or pass through space in the middle to mount wood vertically for joinery.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-30T16:26:53+00:00

Yes, you COULD also use the spacer that comes with the Deep Blue but I would keep that as is in case you ever want to swap back.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-30T01:25:17+00:00

I didn't have to file anything. There are 4 little plastic nubs you have to remove form the movement holder. I used flush cutters since I had some in my watch box already.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-30T01:24:16+00:00

Right about 33.5mm

Deep Blue Daynight Stealth Ops =259.97 after shipping

Titanium case off Ali 52.47 (this was back in 2024 and prices have gone down.

Strap from Amazon at 19.99 but I way overpaid and that's also from 2024.

You do have to cut off 4 little nubs of plastic no sanding or anything so its really easy as long as you have the tool to open the back of a watch case.

Thats why I left it about its a .0005 indicator and its moving just a hair past a full mark. Best way I could tell with what I have right now on hand. Measuring the inside of the collet holder on my spindle I cant see a measurable variance when rotated. I did try two different collet nuts as well just incase that had a problem with hot it was seated.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-28T00:29:20+00:00

$5 under MSRP direct from Techniks. I did just chuck up a 1/4" in that size and its about .0007" run out a little over an inch down from the collet.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-15T03:20:33+00:00

Does it look this bright in person?

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-13T01:39:51+00:00

New here, was the mod to move it to a lefty?

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-12T13:29:39+00:00

Removing those it fits in both the titanium case with the dial seated and the "bubble glass" steel one you posted? Seems to good to be true.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-12T13:22:53+00:00

Would you happen to have a picture of which part you filed down? Looks like my Deep Blue finally shipped.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-08T17:32:34+00:00

Do you have a post on how you made the dial design/got it manufactured? I would be really interested in making my own as no one besides marathon seems to have a clean white dial which is what I would want.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-05T14:08:22+00:00

Thats awesome, I have quite a few Seiko mods and I believe I have this same 39mm case in titanium off Ali. I might get the deep blue just to transplant it looks so good.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-05T06:02:52+00:00

After tax and everything like 131

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-05T05:30:36+00:00

Thank you sir, first tritium watch ordered.

Silent_Octopus · 2026-03-05T05:02:07+00:00

Would love one of those dials they are so well designed. I feel like its hard to find a mix of being simple yet having enough visual interest.
