PureTime listed this bezel since 25th of july but finally there is a thread about it. It would be nice to hear from the people that have knowledge about hulk.
Lot of info and pics on the CF Hulk insert here

ARF is snap fit, Noob needs adhesive. I use 3M tape rings, which are great. I prefer this arrangement as they can be removed without removing the bezel.
CF is also supposed to be snap fit, IDK about compatibility with Noob. I would probably be inclined to use a tape ring anyway

Does ARF bezel ring fits noob case?
Yes, but in some cases you may need to swap the bezel gasket, use the Noob gasket with the ARF bezel. The gaskets both have a stairstep inner side profile but are used upside down from each other. Noob has "bottom step" down, toward the case.
Pics or bids would help like bug time. Lol. The posts help a lot but I'm very much a visual learner. Good info though.

How many layers of adhesive are you using when you put on the noob ring? I found out that one is not enough as the insert simply sinks into the ring....
I usually just use one, but I know what you mean and have had occasion to need more height. What I do then is use this double-sided tape. I cut a thin strip off along the edge, maybe 1mm wide. Peel all the backings off. Lay it in the bezel well, stretching it as necessary to get the desired thickness. I use a piece of cut off blunt end toothpick to get it started sticking and to tack it down as I lay it throughout the well. It's important not to touch it as that will negatively impact the stickiness. I shape it a bit to make an even thickness and coverage. Cut off the leftover so it isn't doubled up anywhere. This stuff is extremely sticky and I've never had an insert come off.

It can be a little tricky to cut a thin strip of this tape without it curling up on itself or touching it. Unroll about 2 inches of it, hold the opposite edge and use straight manicuring scissors to cut off the thin strip on the opposite edge. Easily done with the right tool and a little practice. You could probably slice an edge piece with an exacto while it's still on the roll, I just found a merhod that works well for me.
Wow thanks for the very detailed reply!
In the case of the Noob bezel, does using this super strong 3M tape give you the desired height? I'd like to nail it with one try and the last thing I want see is it sinks or raises and I have to do it all over again.
