Omega Mid-Size SMP - GMT

I have recently bought an Omega Mid-Size Seamaster Professional GMT. It has a black dial and the bezel is in full black as well. I have not been able to locate any pictures, with the same bezel - as most seem to be half black and the other half in silver. Is this model a pukka version?

The watch seems to lose it's power reserve and stops quite often - which makes me think that it might need a service. However, I have not been able to locate any serial no. on the lugs. I have read the article in 'Gray Market' zone, and it suggests that some manufacturers might confiscate the watch - if it does not have the serial no.?!?

Also, my insurance co. will not insure the watch without the serial no.!

Please provide me with some advise, on what I should do - with regards to getting my watch upto scratch.

Thanks
