There is no "bribe" taking place here. What would be happening is "a request for an extra service, chargeable". The buyer is breaking zero laws and is not trying to "bribe" anyone. However, the SA may indeed be breaking criminal law depending on the contract of employment and any regional/country transparency laws if accepted. If the buyer asks if there is a chargeable service for speeding up the watch purchase and is informed there is not, then any further request would indeed cross into waters that could be deemed criminal. There is no law against asking to pay more for something to get it quicker, but there are laws against corrupt transactions.
