Took to repair shop and women said, it has been kept in great shape for as old as it is. the story my mother told me was when I was 3 she was trying to get my four brothers and baby sister and myself in the car and I broke away because I needed to pick up this shiny object. It turned out to be this watch. She tried to find the owner but nothing ever came of it. I am glad I was able to give her something beautiful to wear once in awhile, since we were pretty poor throughout my growing up, but we were blessed to have each other, and funny thing, didn’t know we were poor. I am sure she wore it at some time, because it has a new band on it, the old one she said was black and broken. Mom kept it all these years and I received it after she passed away. It has been in my jewelry box since I have my Bulova my husband bought for me in 1989 that I wear all the time.

Welcome to myBulova! Thank you for sharing the story for your lovely watch. What a special heirloom from your mother.
If it is possible can you take a close clear photo of the movement and add it in the comments. Is there an M0 or something like that on the back of the case?
The Goddess of Time 'A', ref# 6025, is listed in the pricelists from 1954 through 1964.
The Miss Liberty 'A', ref# 6025, is only listed in the pricelists in 1958 (next avail pricelist is 1961, not listed).
Both are listed as White gold, cost $49.50.
The newest Goddess of Time 'A' ad I can find is 1958; Miss Liberty 'A' is 1960. If this watch were a 1961, then I'd say it wasn't available that year and should be the GOT. Rather puzzling, but being a 1960, either model designation 'A' variant works for me.
Great story about finding the watch!
