I have an Air-King with a white dial.

I was wondering if direct sunlight exposer will taint the white and make it more yellow in color?

If it changes color is this what we would call a "patina"?

And does this affect the re-sale value of the watch?

Well it can do. The older ExplorerII's white dials have sometimes changed colour to give a very nice patina to them making them more desirable and consequently more expensive.
