Seiko 6117-6400 sticking bezel, where to source springs/gears?

Hello, I have recently acquired a Seiko 6117-6400, from the mid 1970s. The watch is in great condition, but the internally rotating bezel has some issues. It's either a bit grindy when turning, or it will stop turning altogether, the crown spinning freely without moving the internal bezel. A few taps on the watch will usually loosen it back up and get it turning again. My hope is a service will take care of this, but I would like to get the spring/gear assembly on hand so that when my watchmaker has it apart, and the part is needed, he can swap it in without having to wait to order and deliver the part.

Any ideas on where to source the spring/gear? What is the exact model number for these parts? I've seen a few parts out on eBay for various other 6117 watches, but nothing seems to match up perfectly. The movement is the 6117B. Thanks!
