I hope there is someone out there who has access to the gen hulk (either owns one personally or knows someone who has one), and is interested in buying the CF Insert to do a review. He would be my superhero.
ARF with Clean Factory LV bezel installed.

You sure that bezel is seated all the way down? looks like the crystal is actually sitting below the insert?
why exactly do you think this happened? Is it because the ARF and CF bezel inserts have different dimensions? How can it be fixed?
I have a Noob hulk and am considering the CF bezel insert. Was going to give it a shot installing the CF insert myself, but I don't know if the same issue will happen like in this case where the CF insert was installed on an ARF hulk. And if it does happen, I don't know how I would fix it. Please advise.
hokim I don't have enough experience yet with this hobby to know why the crystal is sitting so low, the crystal is a prof Prof crystal. I installed the insert by hand, it feels and looks to be seated. I did order a press from amazon, I will see if using press helps seats it further. If it doesn't, then I will need a taller crystal gasket? I am open to suggestions on how to correct.
Here’s a few close up pictures of the ARF , Prof Crystal , Clean Factory ceramic insert. Questions were asked if the bezel is seated ? How high should the Crystal be above bezel height ? It’s slightly above the bezel now.

can you clarify: You have the CF insert installed into the stock ARF bezel right? Did you not have this issue with the ARF insert was in the ARF bezel? I'm looking at your older post where you had the CF insert laying on top of your ARF watch, and it kind of looks like the same issue existed in your ARF to begin with ... but I can't really tell for sure in the pics.

tenx139 This is a great pic. I can definitely see a color difference, and the CF color is much nicer IMO. ARF has lime/yellow tones while CF has jade/emerald tones like the gen. Some refer to it as green apple.
Your CF insert is sitting perfectly, and don't ever try to press a ceramic insert if that's what you had in mind (sorry if I misunderstood your intentions with the press). They crack easily.
Your Prof crystal is definitely sitting low, a taller gasket will fix that. botsyboy had it right.
