The one I was looking at was the:
CREW™ 11 21" EXPANDABLE SPINNER SUITER

I also have the non spinner version of the same bag and I pax before/after operating on VA/QF a lot. I have found it to fit 737 lockers the courteous way (ie wheels to the back) just fine. Have never needed to put it under my seat. If I have a long time between pax flight and operating flight I check it in and it has had a few years of heavy use with no dramas. If you use the expander and fill the case I don’t know if it will fit, but I haven’t actually tested that (or needed to). If paxing on anything smaller than 737 I just check it in.
Have never been asked to check the dimensions but unsure if it’s because they are happy with it or if it’s a unofficial courtesy as a Platinum.
