That being said, why is a Daytona ceramic 116500 MSRP $12400 for a steel watch with a black or white bezel like $10k more on every gray market site? Are they that limited in production/availability and do dealers that get them in charge MSRP or well over?
All about supply and demand. Very little supply but huge demand. For the stainless steel daytona it has been this way since the 80's

ADs can only charge MSRP. Everything you see on grey market are secondary market where flippers have purchased the watch to sell at profit to grey market and grey marks up even more
