Apple watch 32mm Digitizer only repair?

Apple watch 32mm Digitizer only repair? Okay so I repair many apple devices. I recently purchased an apple watch with a cracked digitizer. I am aware that the LCD is fused with the digitizer to essentially make them "one part". But on ebay, etc. I see tons of OEM digitizer only apple watch parts. So my question is:

"It is possible to separate them (with a ton of work) as this member showed in his guide: Apple Watch 42mm Glass Digitizer Only Replacement

Its a pretty well made guide and he gets a really clean separation, but it takes a ton of work to do it and some specialized tools.

He still hasn't finished it or reapplied the digitizer. I don't think he has the part yet but I think the biggest issue with replacing just the glass is going to be reapplying the super thick clear adhesive between the LCD and Digitizer. If you can find a way to get your hands on whatever that adhesive is, you could probably do it.

I've been experimenting on some watches to find an easier way to separate the two that would actually be easily doable for the average person, but mostly I've just been ending up with broken Apple Watches."

The LCD is not available to consumers. Only Apple has the LCD's. But I did hear of an LCDcycle place that sells just the LCD but they are expensive. My guess is that they are from other watches they disassembled. That is why you won't find them easily, or cheap for that matter.
