Can I assume you're talking about watches with white gold bezels? In that case, yours would retail for about $6,500, hers for about $6,000. Right now, I'd expect 15-20% discount from an AD on a stainless watch (certain models excluded), and closer to the 20% off if buying two together. Any time there's precious metal involved, the discount should increase. If you want to buy from an AD (and I certainly would want to for this kind of purchase), my personal advice (and others will offer their opinions) would be to shoot for $9,500 for the two.

By the way, if you were talking about all-steel watches, retail on the two should only be about $10,500-$11,000, so I'd shoot for $8,500 on the two, with $9,000 not being unreasonable. Again, others will correct me if I'm way off base.
