In 1936, the Marine 1932 passed through thermal shock test like 85 Deg C Hot Water for several minutes and then to 5 Deg C cold water (exact duration not known).

It was also tested submerging into Lake Geneva to a depth of 240 feet (73m) for 30 minutes.
However it was stretched to 450 feet (135m) and still proven to be watertight, which was unheard of during that time (1932)!

Thus the reason for the 135-limited pieces of this reproduction.
