Technically speaking, the Macharian Heresy lasted from about 400.M41 to 470.M41, so technically the Deathwatch Fortress could be founded sooner. Still, you're right in that members could starts and finish much sooner than the beginning or end.

For me I've got a Deathwatch Watch Captain: Ciaran of the Twilight Shadows

Unlike most Watch Captains, Ciaran began his career as a Kill-marine, acting independant of a squad. For 30 years he would engage in solo-hunt after solo-hunt, till he was called to join a Venator Kill-team. By the time his 50 year first term of service to the Deathwatch had ended he had become something of a leader. When the new Deathwatch Watch Fortress was founded, the call went out again for his service and he accepted. This time however, he was appointed to the role of Watch Captain due to his skill at getting Space Marines from different chapters to work alongside each other, as well as getting each squad to act at the very peak of it's capabilities. However, decades of working alone as both a Infiltrator in his own chapter, as well as a Kill-marine in the Deathwatch have left habits that a re difficult to overcome. Whenever he feels a Kill-team might not quite be enough he often goes himself, seperate from the Kill-team to provide support from the shadows.

His own wargear reflects his preference for stealth wearing Shaded Armor (Mk.V power armor modified for maximum stealth capablilites), a pre-heresy style lightning claw, and will often take with him either a bolter or Deathwatch relic
