Scenario: I lose my credit card.
Action: I have to order a new card, and remove that card from my Watch, iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Here's something interesting: my wife "lost" her Discover card shortly after adding it to Apple Pay (I say "lost" because a couple of months later she found it in her driver's door side pocket). She notified Discover who sent a new card with a new number and said it would arrive in 7-10 days. However, the person at Discover also said, "I noticed you have added your card to Apple Pay. That will continue to work for you uninterrupted."

So, even though her physical card would have a new number on it that didn't affect her ability to use Apple Pay. My wife never had to remove or add another card, Apple Pay just continued to do its thing. 

As far as i can see, when you add a card to Apple Pay, your bank generates another card number for any transaction used within. If i look in my Apple Pay settings, the last 4 digits are different from the actual physical card. So your wife's "lost" card is only the physical one, not the Apple Pay one, i would assume that if you cancel your CC's association with Apple Pay the number would never be used again.

I can remember a few years back, i got a statement from my bank for my new CC. It diddnt have the same number as my physical card, contacted the bank, and they were like...err.. your physical card actually has another number that we use "internally" for the likes of adjustments or refunds.
