Senorita Si, At some point you got to let go and move on. Throw that broken one away. But then keep your eyes open at garage sales. I bought a cool all-metal STORM watch this summer for 25 cents.
I used to have a mechanical Soviet watch that had Yuri Gagarin's picture on it. As long as I remembered to keep it wound up, the watch was very accurate and I only had to adjust the time every couple of months. But last year the spring got unsprung in it. I took it to a jeweler who didn't know where to get a replacement spring for that old watch. Sadly, I had to throw it away.
You're right on both points. A third option: The photo might be of a medieval church building, rather than a castle. Some church towers have stairs that curved around the left like that. I suspect that's because they were meant to be peaceful places, with nothing there worth attacking.
Decades ago I played The Minister's Cat at a party. The rule was that everyone's adjective must start with the letter 'A'. But when somebody gets stuck, he's out of the game, and the next player must start the 'B' adjectives, and so on. It's hard to plan ahead because you don't know when somebody will stumble and the letter will change.

Wish I lived in China.
Don't know of any teenagers today who this phrase applies to.
