Tag Heuer Carbon Hairspring

I was in a Tag Heuer store in Houston last week and I noted that there are Calibre5 watches available now with the new Carbon Hairspring. My Aquaracer has a Calibre5 with a traditional alloy spring no doubt, and I’ve had to de-gauss it a few times when it starts getting a bit fast. A question to all the professional and amateur watchmakers out there:
Would it be possible (feasible) to retrofit a new Carbon Hairspring into an old Calibre5 movement..I assume a SelittaSW-200/1. Would Tag sell their new spring as a part to a watch repair firm?
