Only $10,000??--Warren Robinson, a diamond salesman, takes a look at the "simple" bow tie--made out of a $10,000 bill--worn by Philip Reid, a bank president, at the Dallas Civitan Club's annual "necktie contest". Robinson, who had the flashiest tie at the contest, wears a black string bow tie adorned with $45,000 worth of diamonds, star sapphire and platinum bracelets and rings. One rings was a 5-carat diamond. Neither man won the prize.
