Title	Install Series 2 Display on a Series 3 with Apple Pay
Introduction	Series 3 Displays are hard to find and expensive. Plus, when you buy one you'll discover that after installing it everything works except Apple Pay. Apparently Apple has decided to pair the NFC hardware in the Display to the mainboard, similar to TouchID on iPhones and iPads. It looks like a Series 2 Display would fit, but if yoou try it you'll find that the Watch gets very hot and the battery runs down super fast. The connections are not compatible even though the connectors all line up. Turns out the compatibility problem is just the NFC module, and so if you move the S3 NFC from the broken Display to a working S2 Display, all is well. I took photos while doing this repair at work. The company closed down last week and so now there's nobody to tell me I can't post them for your benefit :-)
