Does the New Pepsi on WG has another variation??

This is just a quick question that I had while I was exploring the Rolex website.

IIRC, the new WG Pepsi with blue dial originally was shown with "WHITE" GMT hands, as you can see in the first attachment;

However, I see that their website has a new image of the WG Pepsi, now with "RED" GMT hands...(As you can see in the second attachment)

Was this just a small mistake by Rolex (i.e. not putting in colors right on Photoshop), or was there an actual change, and Rolex has decided to change the color of GMT hands back to Red? (i.e. due to the bad feedback from customers, etc.)

Good pick up. On the Canadian website, mostly red hands.

Only one white hand on the scroll menu.

The actual piece that was displayed ar Basel2018 seems to have a red GMT hands...and there was no pictures of an actual Pepsi with white hands - does this imply that this was just a little mix-up by Rolex?

It did, it looks like it changed. I actually like the blue dial though. At least in the pictures it looks good.

That first pic is the only one I've seen in white or silver. The rest of them it's red. And when I checked the website, it's red there, too.
