Polo Blue D&G The One Tommy Bahama

My bad! I just went on TC's site and re-read the specs on his case and you are correct, it should take the 3135 movement without modification. Good luck with build. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Are you going to have to refit the crown tube and alter the crown guards to use a 3135 movement? I was under the impression that these movements had the higher crown height than the ETA 2836 movements that is usually used in these watches.

OK, I am not a Sub expert, but I have been studying, so I will give it a try. Maybe some of the real Sub experts on the forum can tell me if I am way off base. It appears that this model has slightly narrower lugs than the gen, meaning they taper to a more narrow width at the tip. The hour markers appear to have thinner rims like the gen where most of the reps we are used to seeing have thicker surrounds to the markers. The crown height appears slightly better than the ones I am used to seeing, but still does not appear to be as high as the gen. The hands are too thick. The bezel looks pretty good and the pearl is even decent. The thing that jumps out at me most, however, is the date appears to be overmagnified. All that being said, I still think this is a beautiful watch and would proudly wear it myself. I am a Sea-Dweller fan, but I am finding myself looking at the Subs more and more. I think it is just a matter of time. OK, since I am a newbie, let's see what the real experts have to say.
