should I expect AD price to be higher than rolex suggested retail price, especially on very popular models such as 116610LV, daytona C, or BLRO?

No, it won't be higher.

In some countries yes. Especially those countries who are suffering from fluctuations in forex rates and ADs put some safety margins in the conversion rates. Also some ADs sell at higher price to narrow the gap with grey market.

There is a myth out there that Rolex AD's cannot sell for above MSRP, however, this is not true. Usually they do not, but if they have high demand with little supply, some adjust prices upward.

In Hong Kong higher.

I know with the Rolex SRP, the ADs are assured of a markup of xx% allowing for a possible discount of x%, making both AD and customers happy. So I do not buy about the forex rate fluctuation. Also the discount are either reduced or taken out nowadays due to the high demand of Rolex watches.

you should not expect to find those at an AD at all, so the actual pricing of such watches at a "suggested" price is semantics
