It has probably been close to 20 years since there have been any true "spare" modules for any of the Time Computer watches, aside from the occasional one that shows up on eBay. Your best bet is to watch the auctions and try to pick up a battered, but working, watch, and transplant the module. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that it will function properly in your case. There are variations in the strength of the button magnets, and sensitivity of the reed switches, that make it impossible to know if they are perfectly compatible, until you actually put it in the case, and try the buttons. There are a few ways to do the adjustments; the Time Computer Service Department did it all the time. In general, any working P4 module is going to set you back around $200-250; if you want the DOW feature, figure another $75-100. Sorry to be the bearer of relatively bad news, but that's where we are today, and we are all in the same boat, as far as keeping our treasured Pulsars running.

I can vouch for the rarity of all of these modules- unfortunately, they certainly are a "dying breed."
