In the recent months I’ve come to the realization that most of the watches I want I won’t be able to buy brand new which is fine but I have a hard time finding trusted dealers and sites with good deals on watches and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for me?

So many! Some favs; Toppers, Belmont, Del Ray, and of course eBay and Chrono.
WUS has a nice sales section if you're an establish member with at least 100 posts. Most of my pre-owned watches were discovered there.
I go for a well-established local dealer for more expensive pieces because of the after-sales service. For cheaper pieces, I get from ebay, making sure the bargain price is worth the risk because it would be difficult to ship things back abroad.
Crown and Caliber and Hodinkee, of course they pay my bills so I am obviously biased, but I know everyone who works on those watches and they take pride in what they do, and they have all earned my respect. Do with that as you will
