Good Morning Will,
My good friend what you have here is probably one the HARDEST and most elusive Pathfinders to find, let alone to purchase at a reasonable price. We are looking at the elusive PAW-1500Y-1JF
this was known as the VADER within the PROTREK / PATHFINDER aficionados. Funny it fits your call sign perfect WHERE in God's name did you find this ghost of a watch? This is the one which has eluded me for years. I think the cheapest I ever saw this was $800.00 on Amazon like four years ago. I don't think they even carry it anymore.
I have the non-negative display one which is the PAW-1500-1V. Pathfinder also made the non-atomic version of this watch it is the PRG-130Y-1V, the non-negative non-atomic is the PRG-130-1V.

I only have one other protrek the prw-2000T, which I love, but when I saw this guy on a wruw thread one time I knew I had to find it. Like you said, the few times I've seen it, it's ways been more that I be been willing to pay, I recently saw this one on eBay, made him an offer over on WUS, and just picked it up this morning, really stunning.... The negative LCD is a million times better than the newer prw-3000 negatives, really happy with this grail of a protrek Carlos

You definitely have very good taste in Pathfinders and Protreks. The Vader is very hard to find and believe it or not the non-atomic version is even harder to find.
I have looked at the PRW 3000 but their negative displays are atrocious don't know what Casio was thinking. I am going to return my PRG-270-4 the display is extremely hard to read even in sunny days. The only model I like of the PRW 3000 is the -4 I think Chris has that one if memory serves me right. I know my unit has been issuing them now for two years and it has received mixed reviews by the boys in the field. Last I spoke to my buddy which works in supply they were looking for a replacement watch for it.

I had a PRW3000, very light, easier wearable but it felt a bit 'christmas cracker'. I actually damaged to bezel doing the washing up
