Yes, the new plastic warranty card does replace the old paper warranty sheet.

By "papers", they mean the card and booklets that come with the watch.

The chronometer cert is no longer issued. I can't remember exactly when it stopped but it's been a while.

The red Chronometer hang tag, with the hologram on it, replaces the Chronometer statement that was on the warranty paper... .. (actual certs have been gone for decades)

You get a small green booklet along with the watch stating that the watch has undergone the required tests to prove that it is a chronometer. See the green booklet in the pic below, just above the case carrying the warranty card.

Does the small green booklet also have a serial number on it which is unique to the card like the old paper certificate ?????

No, that booklet is just a generalised booklet which is thrown in with every Rolex watch.

The serial no. in the above picture can be seen on the plastic card - M8331XX.
