You can find lots of cheap Seiko movements for parts on ebay. Your part is common on the following movements

Haha dont believe everything that you hear Andy, I only knew because my introduction to watch restoration was pulling apart and putting back together hundreds of scrapped quartz watches. Now you can sit there and question if what me and Hector told you is true 😆 -

Carbide is a good choice, but remember that you need something much harder than steel to sharpen and polish. So you WILL need a diamond wheel and diamond compound to grind and polish. Everyone has preference and I guess I'm a bit old school, in that I like M2 and O1 steel to make gravers out of, mostly O1. AOA is the most critical when turning blued steel. Just practice. you can turn it with M2 steel
