Same hear. The large AD in Charlotte, NC (Finks) seemed to care less if I bought a Rolex from them, and the pricing was firm at MSRP with no incentives.

The small AD (Lions) really worked for me to get my 116710, even though I was a newbie. I got a 5 year warranty, the first major service free, a $500 store credit, and they ship out-of-state (no sales tax). And they seemed to really appreciate the business.

Somethimes the smaller ADs have inventory of hard-to-get models since they don't have the customer base or sales volume. In fact, they had a new ceramic GMT is stock with no people waiting for it, so I snatched it up. The bigger Ads have a bigger customer base and people waiting for certain models.

This was my experience anyway.
