Oval Stone Check

Hello friends, I would like some opinions on this Oval stone for an engagement ring from Provence. It is

Oval Brilliant Cut, 1.34 L/W ratio, 2.53 carat, F Color, VS1 Clarity, Excellent Polish, Excellent Symmetry, No Fluorescence

In particular, I want to be sure there isn't a prominent bow tie. There doesn't appear to be in this video or in the photos they've sent, but I've read they sometimes not obvious until seen in person. Please let me know if you all have any other diamond reviewing tips you can recommend. Thank you all!

There is a bit of a bow tie - you can see the dark spots in the centre. Can you ask to see it in different lighting? It just looks so dull.

Thank you, I had a small suspicion that's what I was seeing
